My Devotion

Psalm 64

Reflection "Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint preserve my life from the dread enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the scheming of evildoers..." Isn't it sad to say that this prayer is in full operation yet today. For all the progresses we have made as humankind... we still are at war with one another. Every country and people has it's story of a "Dooms Day". For us a few are Pearl Harbor, the Assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy, and more recently the 9/11, 2001 Twin Towers Tragedy... all of these are from a dread enemy who plots in secret; creating schemes of disaster. So we pray... Lord save us from such a conflict; Help us to know how to fight our enemy with success. Help our armed men and women in harms way to gain the victory and over throw this enemy that hides and lurks and is willing to meet their graves in behalf of their cause in such grotesque ways. We stand ready Lord for you deliverance for your end to this and all wars. Teach us your ways Lord. Help all enemies to become friends and to lay down their weapons of war and know peace. Lord we pray for this miracle... we put all into your gracious and mighty hands... set us apart and together according to your will. Amen.
