When I read today's psalm I realized how blessed we are in the USA. We don't really have wicked men pursuing us - at least not because we are Christians. Yes. Our society is getting more and more hostile towards Christians and different "wicked" organizations are doing what they can to remove any mention of God from public display or conversation. Hmmm. Now that I think about it, our President and people who work in his administration have attacked churches and faith organizations with the health care mandate to require their insurance policies to provide abortion drugs. (I won't go on about this HUGE violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution.
But what I thought about was how the persecution of Christians in countries like Syria has increased (because of their political unrest), about the pastor in Iran who may be executed because he converted to Christianity, of the villages in Africa that have been burned to the ground by Muslims because they were Christian villages, etc, etc, etc,
Our day (in the USA) may come where we face this kind of persecution, but today will you join me In praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who face persecution EVERY day?
