Rise up, O Lord, rise up.
For I am weak and coughing and sad.
There have been murders, heartless murders, of young family men in Samaria.
There is unwavering assault on our President until we wonder if we are going down for the third time.
China is flexing her muscles.
North Korea is led by a madman.
The Olympics begin this week only a few miles away.
There are wars and rumors of wars on every side.
And yet, Moses called on You to rise up!
And You did: glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders.
You show Yourself strong.
You are strong.
Be strong, O Lord!
We need You…. oh how we need You.
Finally brethren, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable……
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy….
think on these things.
This is Who You are and I will think of THESE things!
Rise up, O Lord, and scatter every one of those enemies away.
Let all who hate You flee before You.
HalleluYah!
