Shake up in Israel's Government

There has been a shake up in Israel's government this past week.  The head of the Labor party, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and four other Labor MKs (Members of Knesset - Israel's Parliament) left Labor and started a new party called Independence. The rest of the Labor's MKs left the government, but Independence then rejoined.  So Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's government coalition is still strong.  In fact, Bibi sees it as stronger now that those who have leaned to the far left - have left.

PRAYER POINTS:

• We thank You for dividing Labor since they were the party leading the charge to divide the land.                
• Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man (or government) sows, that shall he also reap.  Galatians 6:7
• Hedge in Barak (who is still the Defense Minister) and use him for Your glory, Lord.
• Give supernatural strength and wisdom to Bibi and his counselors to know how to steer Israel's ship through all the rough water she is now and will be in, in the near future.
• We pray this Proverb for PM Bibi:  Proverbs  21:1  "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water.  He turns it whichever way He wills.
• Remove all Israeli politicians who are just out for their own political careers.
• Raise up statesmen who will be like the sons of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do. . . (1 Chronicles 12:32)

Ultimately, we trust in You, that You will guide, protect, and use this nation of Israel for Your Holy Name's sake.

Psalm 103 :19  "The LORD has prepared His throne in the heavens.  His kingdom rules over all.
