“Update, Thursday, March 24, 2005.”
This is a quick note to ask you to
pray for safety in Israel during the Purim celebrations there. (Purim
starts this evening at sundown, for 48 hours. Israel is 8 hours ahead of
us in the Central Time Zone.)
You may wish to read Esther tonight in harmony with the practice of
Purim, and celebrate the deliverance that God gives to the Jewish people
and all who are grafted in through faith in Yeshua (Jesus). Today is the
Fast of Purim, inspired by the fast that Esther engaged in before asking
for deliverance for the Jewish people. It’s a perfect time for us to
pray for salvation and deliverance for Israel and the Jewish people. I
“happened” to read Psalm 9 in my readings this morning, and it is a
prayer more or less, that harmonized beautifully with the prayers
appropriate to the Fast of Purim.
Shalom,
David
