Jerusalem Day Memories

I enjoyed watching the dancing and singing taking place today in Israel (on Facebook) in celebration of Yom Yerushalayim – Jersulsalem Day. I was reminded of my trip there 5 years ago. I was blessed to be in the old city on Jerusalem Day then, and I took this short video of some young men in their way to Ha Kotel – better known to us,as The Wailing Wall.

As I reflect on this tonight, my prayers as always with and for God’s people and His land. And I am grateful fhat:

Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
Psalm 121:4 NLT

I am learning some Hebrew through a free class on Facebook, so let me practice a bit on you.

Yom Yerushalayim Sameach, which means Happy Jerusalem Day. And laila tov, which means good night.

I pray you will receive and take hold of these words from Psalm 3:


[But in the depths of my heart, I truly know that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield; You take me and surround me with yourself.  Your glory  covers me continually. You lift high my head.  [4] I have cried out to you,  Yahweh, from your holy presence.  You send me a Father’s help. Pause in his presence  [5] So now I’ll lie down and sleep like a baby— then I’ll awake in safety, for you surround me with your glory.
