I stumbled across a verse today that I've heard repeated many times; I even have it underlined in the NEW Bible.
But sometimes something familiar suddenly comes into sharp focus.
Verse 4 was about building my own house and opening the door; today as I passed by Ps. 122 I suddenly realized that I should not be praying for my own house alone. And, although I surely must have noticed this before, it hit me fresh today that this verse isn't just an instruction TO pray but also an instruction of WHAT to pray.
A good passage; I've heard the first part all my life, I think, but it's time for me to commit the whole thought to heart. So here's my SSMT verse for March 1:
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.' - Ps. 122: 6-7 NIV 84
