Two Weeks, Three Kings in Ephraim

Two Weeks, Three Kings in Ephraim
1 Kings 15:25-16:34

Yesterday, as usual, we began our faculty meeting by sharing topics for prayer, and then as it happened I had to try to pray a prayer that covered them all. The sharing referred to someone’s health needs, to someone who had lost a job, to someone whose daughter-in-law had just got her PhD, to posts we were trying to fill, to a clash between Israelis and Palestinians that had just taken place (one of the people present was about to go to Israel), to the tension between North Korea and South Korea (one of the people present was Korean), and maybe to other things I can’t now remember. In my prayer I thanked God for being the God of all these aspects of our lives and concerns..
