Psalm 25:8-11 (ESV)/(emphasis added/jaj)...."Good and Upright is The Lord; Therefore He Instructs sinners in The Way.  He Leads the humble in What is Right, and Teaches the humble His Way.  All The Paths of The Lord Are Steadfast Love and Faithfulness, For those who Keep His Covenant and His Testimonies.  For Your Name's sake, O Lord, Pardon my guilt, for it is great."....

PJP2 PROLOG POST 151121 - Psalm 22:24-28 (ESV)/(emphasis added/jaj)...."For He has NOT despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, AND He Has NOT hidden His Face From him, BUT has Heard, when he cried To Him.  From You Comes my Praise in the great congregation; my Vows I Will Perform before those who FEAR Him.  The afflicted Shall Eat and Be Satisfied; those who Seek Him Shall Praise The Lord!  May your Hearts Live Forever!  All the ends of the earth Shall Remember
and Turn To The Lord, And All the families of the nations Shall Worship Before You.  For Kingship Belongs to The Lord, And He Rules over the nations."....

Pondering over today's PJP2 PROLOG POST 151121, Psalm 22:24-28, especially in light of the recent tragic events we've witnessed both worldwide (Russian airliner bring-down; Beirut suicide-bomber incident; Paris' attacks) and here at home (continued tension/unrest for a wide-range of challenges) one might seem to lean towards a thought that perhaps God The Father has turned away from us.  The as we Cry out to Him, He is no longer Listening to our Please.  To that thought, though, I Proclaim a Resounding No!  I am Assured each and every moment of each and every day that our Lord Jesus if very much Engaged and Listening to our Prayers.  Though, again, as we look across our global landscape, to read in Psalm 22:24-28, it is hard for us to grasp that One Day all the nations will Remember and Turn to Him.  BUT Praise God that is in His Realm, and He is Faithful and True to His Promise.  Thus my Encouragement for us today is two fold, I would Encourage you, if you have not yet Come to Know our Lord Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior - He Stands Ready to Welcome you.  No matter what we have done in our past, The Lord Jesus can and will Wash Away all our guilt and shame.  He has Pardoned us Once and for All.  Second, I would Encourage us to Focus on God The Father, even in the midst of the wars and rumors of war, for BLUF - He is In Control.  He has His Plan, and He Will, at His Perfect Time, Complete His Plan.  May we Ever Trust in Him.

Thus my Prayer for us today would be, via the Help of The Holy Spirit, to Craft a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise using His Inspired Word as Shared in the beginning of today's PJP2 PROLOG POST 151121.....To those who are reading this, please join me as I Pray, "Good and Upright is The Lord Jesus."  O Holy Spirit we Know that You Instruct we sinners in Your Way.  Father God, Thank You as You Lead the humble in What is Right, and as You Teache the humble Your Way of Life.  Lord Jesus, Guide us in All Your Paths of Life.  Holy Spirit, Thank You that Your Way is The Way of Steadfast Love and Faithfulness.  Father God, Help us to ever Keep Your Covenant and Your Testimonies.  Lord Jesus, we Pray, For Your Name's sake, O Lord, Pardon our guilt, for it is great.  Thank You, Father God, that You have NOT despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted.  Thank You, Lord Jesus that You have NOT hidden Your Face From us.  Holy Spirit, Help us to ever Know that You Have Heard us as we have Cried To You.  Especially Lord Jesus during these times of challenges and storms all across our world.  Father God, Encourage us as we Learn that our Praises to You Comes from You.  Help us Lord Jesus to ever meet our Vows to You.  May we Perform our Promise to You before those who FEAR You and Follow in Your Steps.  Holy Spirit Help us to Be Your Feets and Hands.  May we Help you Help the afflicted.  Guide us in Helping them and that they Shall Eat and Be Satisfied by Your Mercy, Comfort and Grace.  Father God may those who Seek You, Find You and May they Praise You Lord Jesus!  In Finding You, O Lord, may our Hearts Live Forever in You and Your Light!  Father God Employ us as Your Instruments to be a Reflection of You and Your Grace, that All the ends of the earth Shall Remember and Turn To You, O Lord.  May we Help All the families of the nations to Come and Worship Before You.  Lord Jesus, indeed we Know that Eternal Kingship Belongs to You, And that You do Rule over the nations.  In Your Blessed Name we Pray these Prayers.....Amen/Amen....jaj
