Day 153 Ein Kamocha Adonai

 

6/2/2026

"Lord, there is no one like you! For You are great,

and Your name is full of power."

Jeremiah 10:6

 

Yesterday I shared visions I had during prayer, visions of women in distress, crying, lost, even to the point of not being consolable. One woman held in the strong arms of someone I believe was the Lord, grieving. Before I moved back to Virginia I had a dream about seeing people lining the road on both sides, desperate, lost, seemingly hopeless. I did not walk alone as I watched these crowds, walking single file slowly down the road, as if having no where to go, no one to turn to, heads bowed. I had the Captain of the Armies of Heaven by my side, although at the time I did not realize it. This morning in the prayer watch from the Messianic church in Israel, I heard about the weariness of the people, particularly the soldiers who are physically tired, some having been on active duty the entire time since 10/7/2023. Many deployed from other countries, including the United States, where they have made a life, having to leave spouses and children behind. War is not something new for Israel, but this war has gone on for too long. It's hard enough leaving your family behind, but hearing of the increasing hatred and antisemitism all over is very troubling when that person is elsewhere. These are indeed perilous times.

We turn to the Psalms for strength and comfort, but we also sing, praise, and worship our God. There is no one like the LORD - "Ein Kamocha Adonai." And He is worthy of praise. He is watching over Israel, although some would think that not so. Regardless of what appears to be, God is calling His people back to the land, and the land is prospering in spite of war, homes destroyed, lives changed from the savage loss of lives, senseless slaughter of innocents, against the lies and accusations printed daily. No one cares to know the truth of these special people. People who do not want war, but who have extended warm welcomes and outstretched arms to the ones who attacked them that early morning so long ago. 

I know what it's like to suffer when people turn against, accuse, deny, listen to lies and utter nonsense. But I made a promise to God when I surrendered my life to Him so many years ago, and I will stand with Israel, although I lose some people along the way, including family. It's happened before when I made a decision to leave a job due to prejudice on the part of my employer, and when I refused to attend a family event at a facility that treated others unfairly because of skin color and nationality. Veterans. Those who defend our nation and maintain our safety and security. It was long ago, but nothing really changes, as we see in America now. 

Each Tuesday morning I enter into worship and prayer with the Kehilat HaCarmel Worship Watch in Israel, and my heart is always warmed by the worship led by Karen Davis. She has an anointed ministry, and the songs are so beautiful and scriptural. Karen has been very ill for several weeks now, but she has returned, and she is lifting her voice in praise to her God, Adonai. Listen to the words of her song:

"I have set the Lord before my eyes, so my heart will not be shaken. I have set my will to seek His life. I will wait upon the Lord. I will lift my eyes until the hills to the God of all creation. I will lift my heart and worship Him, I will glory in the Lord. I will praise the Lord, I will praise the Lord. I will lift my eyes to the Lord most high. I will praise the Lord."

Another one that is equally beautiful: 

"I love the Lord for He has heard my voice. He's heard and answered me. He's lifted me above the flood, above my enemies. The pain of death surrounded me. I called upon His Name. He sent His word, delivered me, gracious is the Lord. So return to your rest, so return, o my soul. He has torn, but He will heal, He will come, He will restore. So taste and see that the Lord is good, His mercy endures forever."

As she sang she prayed for others who are having physical challenges. It seems as if many in the congregation have been hit with illness or other challenges, and as I listen and observe, I have noticed that many standing on the wall with Israel, myself included, have been encountering tremendous obstacles in their lives. Yet, yet, God is faithful, as we are faithful to praise His Name. Regardless of what happens, no matter what the enemy throws in our face, trying to weaken and destroy our health, and our faith, and steal our joy, it does not happen. We are victorious in battle, and this is a spiritual battle. One of our scriptures today is found in Psalm 61:1-8. It was written by David in a time of great distress:

"Hear my cry O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Bor You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name. You will prolong the king's life, his years as many generations. He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him! So i will sing praise to Your name forever, that I may daily perform my vows." 

O, Lord, you are worthy of our praise! There is no one like You.
