Pray for the Jews and for Israel

Hmmm… Normally each morning I pray and ask God what He would want me to share on my blog. This morning when I prayed, I felt God was telling me to remind you to pray for the Jews and the nation of Israel.

Now praying for Israel is not one of my regular practices by any means, so I am paying special attention to the voice of the Lord. I will also be adding them to my regular rotation of prayer subjects. We all have things we have to get right sometimes.

It is important to remember that the Jews are God’s chosen people. They are the ones whose history we read in order to strengthen and fortify our own faith. It is their struggles and victories that we identify with in relation to our everyday walk.

Their Jehovah is our Jehovah. It is sad that a majority of them have not realized that our Messiah is their Messiah too.

We see a lot about Israel in relation to their struggle to maintain the borders and land that they feel is rightfully theirs. We see how they are fighting and dying for what they believe in overseas. God’s chosen people have constantly been in the midst of war.

As believers, we should be interceding for them on a regular basis. We should be covering the country of Israel with prayers of faith and protection. We should be lifting up their leaders to the Lord asking Him to give them wisdom to direct their people.

We should ultimately be praying for the Jews that are around the world to come to the realization that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah. We should be crying out to God for their eyes to be opened to the fact that their Savior has already come.

Please take some time to say a prayer for the Jews and the nation of Israel today. Thanks.

Verse of the Day: Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:1-3
