October 16, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Monday, October 16.
Yesterday morning, in the worship service at First Baptist Center, our pastor asked us to do something that was a bit unusual for a Sunday morning service. He asked us to gather in small groups in our sanctuary to pray. He asked us to pray . . . for Israel.
We've all been following the news reports this last week about the terrorist attack. A moment in history that rivals September 11, 2001 in its level of cruelty. Wars and rumors of wars are so common today, that we have grown numb to the stories of soldiers lost in battles. But when the focus of terrorism turns on civilians, on innocent people, on innocent children, we are left with heavy hearts.
I leave you this morning with a single verse of scripture, just six words, a simple thought.
Psalm 122:6 - "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem."
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
