Arise! Oh Lord

Arise! Oh Lord

Scripture: “For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before Thee. Put them in fear, O LORD; Let the nations know that they are but men.” -Psalms 9:18-20

Prayer: Righteous God, Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and some day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that You alone are Lord. You have the name that is above every other name, and the whole earth is full of Your glory.

I bring to Your attention the afflicted and needy people of {TARGET}: the families and the children who are caught up in the middle of this conflict. Lord, I bring them to Your remembrance, and I say, “Arise, Oh Lord, come to their aid, be their defense, hear their cries, and render Your judgment on their behalf.”

Jesus, do not let man prevail against Your purposes for {TARGET}, and Your destiny for its people. Reveal Yourself as the God over {TARGET}, create a testimony for Yourself, and let the nations know that they are but men. In Jesus name, amen.

  1. Sea robins are fish with ‘the wings of a bird and multiple legs like a crab’

    Some types of sea robins, a peculiar bottom-dwelling ocean fish, use taste bud-covered legs to sense and dig up prey along the seafloor, according to new research.

    Sea robins are so adept at rooting out prey as they walk along the ocean floor on their six leglike appendages that other fish follow them around in the hope of snagging some freshly uncovered prey themselves, said the authors of two new studies published Thursday in the journal Current Biology.

    David Kingsley, coauthor of both studies, first came across the fish in the summer of 2016 after giving a seminar at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Kingsley is the Rudy J. and Daphne Donohue Munzer Professor in the department of developmental biology at Stanford University’s School of Medicine.

    Before leaving to catch a flight, Kingsley stopped at a small public aquarium, where he spied sea robins and their delicate fins, which resemble the feathery wings of a bird, as well as leglike appendages.

    “The sea robins on display completely spun my head around because they had the body of a fish, the wings of a bird, and multiple legs like a crab,” Kingsley said in an email.
    “I’d never seen a fish that looked like it was made of body parts from many different types of animals.”
    Kingsley and his colleagues decided to study sea robins in a lab setting, uncovering a wealth of surprises, including the differences between sea robin species and the genetics responsible for their unusual traits, such as leglike fins that have evolved so that they largely function as sensory organs.

    The findings of the study team’s new research show how evolution leads to complex adaptations in specific environments, such as the ability of sea robins to be able to “taste” prey using their quickly scurrying and highly sensitive appendages.
