The Pastures of God (Psalm 83)
Rather than succumbing to intimidation, discounting the reality of evil or passively hoping it would go away, Asaph turned to God confident He would demonstrate His awesome power.

Worship expressed with heart-felt praise and reverential awe is an appropriate response to God’s wisdom, power and goodness.
For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.
The Zionist longing at the turn of the 20th century was more than a transient dream.
In the mid-1800s, a dream began to coalesce that changed the course of history. It emerged in Russia and spread to Eastern Europe where the most beleaguered Jewish populations of the world lived.
And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between . . .
When God brings back the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
