A Friday In The Middle Of May

The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying,
“Let us continue to go and pray before the LORD,
And seek the LORD of hosts.
I myself will go also.”  Zechariah 8:21

So you got up today and the world still appears as a slow-moving train wreck in so many ways. It is difficult to tear the eyes away from the spectacle of the news, and yet you wonder what yourself or anyone else can do about it. Simply not looking does not to the Christian seem the way to go when so many are suffering in this time. And yet, it is that very world we want to help that has commanded all to stay away! Zechariah has an answer for us in prophecy.

Let us pray to the Lord! We can each of us be an inhabitant of one city praying for all before the Lord of hosts. We may not be able to go up to Jerusalem to pray before the Lord Himself just yet, but we can start the praying. (The next verse tells of that great day when many shall go up to Jerusalem and to the Lord.) A prayer to the Lord for the salvation of others is a great thing to do on a Friday in the middle of May! 

Rejoice in the Lord this day!
