Please pray

If you haven't thought to yet, please stop and thank God that the airliner terror plot was foiled. How very merciful of our Lord to prevent this wicked plan. May His mercy endure forever!

How depraved must a person be to plot the mass murder of thousands of women, children, and non-combatants? How evil are our enemies! Events like this prove that the "imprecatory Psalms" (Psalm 83 for instance) have an important place in the Scripture and in the Christian's prayer life. Please pray that our enemies' plans would come to nothing, their plots continue to be foiled, and their cause be crushed.

It is not out of personal hatred that I urge you to pray against the Islamists. Why are we taught to pray for God’s judgment on the enemy? So that they will be converted! How often do we see God’s judgment leading men to repentance!

“O Christ, come in power and show forth the glory of God. Bring judgment to the wicked that they may seek you . . . and if not, O God, destroy all who won’t bow to you. Let them know that only you, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.” (from James Adams, author of War Psalms of the Prince of Peace)
