Ps 83:4,12,17-18
v4 They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more." v12 Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God." v17-18 Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; and let them be humiliated and perish, that they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.

This sounds like today's news in the Middle East with the Muslim countries saying they are going to wipe out the nation of Israel. They will end up just like their forefathers and maybe even worse. When I read this from the bible which was written over 2,000 years ago it makes me more confident that the Word of God is truly the Words of God.

The land of Israel is truly the pastures of God and that will never change. He may let others live in this land for awhile but it is still the land of God's special people and the nation of Israel. We are living in exciting days as we see this whole picture unfold.

Soon the whole world will know that God the Lord is the MOST HIGH over all the earth. God is doing this so He can show to everyone who is the One who is in control of the Earth and the nations on it.

Lord, I do stand in awe of You and all You are doing in our world. Lord, help me to stay focused on You and what You want to accomplish in the lives of people who can minister to their family and friends and those they meet in the process of life. Lord, we need Your help and Your strength to do all of this.
