My Prayer for Today


My Prayer for Today
Emoji
    9      For evildoers shall be cut off; 
          But those who wait on the LORD, 
          They shall inherit the earth. 
    10      For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; 
          Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, 
          But it shall be no more. 
    11      But the meek shall inherit the earth, 
          And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 

    12      The wicked plots against the just, 
          And gnashes at him with his teeth. 
    13      The Lord laughs at him, 
          For He sees that his day is coming. 


The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982). Ps 37:9–13.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem.
