Saturdays are usually silent here on Inspired by Life and Fiction. But I thought I would take a moment to share that I (along with Tammy and her husband) had not departed the US for our scheduled biblical studies trip to Israel before the terrorists attacked last Saturday. I was due to fly out of Boise on the 21st, a trip that has understandably been cancelled.
Because I had shared in blog posts and my newsletter about my planned visit to Israel in October, many have contacted me through emails, Facebook, Instagram, and X to check on me. I’m very touched by the concern and the prayers of others. Thank you.
My heart is broken over what has happened already and broken for all that may happen yet. And so I pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6). The enemies of Israel make shrewd plans against that nation and conspire together against His treasured ones (Psalm 83:3), and so I pray that those enemies will be humiliated and that they will come to know the one true God, whose name is the LORD, is the Most High over all the earth (Psalm 83:17-18).

Praying with you! Thanks for the verses!
Thank you, Robin for this insight and prayerful reminder. So happy that you and the others traveling with you were not there.
Living in Virginia Beach, I am aware of the preparations our area is making to respond to the terror that has been unleashed. Yesterday, the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group deployed from Norfolk to the Med, where we already have the Gerald R. Ford carrier group that has moved to the eastern Med. Seal Team Six at the Little Creek Amphibious base in Virginia Beach has been put on alert.
I pray for all those who have experienced terror, those who are readying themselves to respond to terror, and that peace will return.
I pray for all the people of Isreal it is Gods land
