The Empty Throne

"In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit." ~ Judges 17:6

We live in a culture nowadays where everyone adheres to their own truth, morals, beliefs, etc. It's as if objective truth no longer exists. People will even deny truth when it's staring them right in front of their face.

But Jesus declared Himself to be both King (John 18:36-37) and Truth (John 14:6). Whether people believe it or not, there is one objective truth that we will never be able to escape: there is an all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent God that exists. The Bible says that, in the end, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11).

It's a dangerous thing when people start to think independently from God, rationality, reason, and logic. When no objective truth exists, the natural consequence is chaos and anarchy. But just like gravity exists whether we believe in it or not, God's Word is truth whether we believe it or not.

Don't fall into this generation's trap. Truth is NOT whatever we make it. Jesus is Truth (John 17:17) - point, blank, period.

The Power of Prayer

"Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, this is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him: 'The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you, laughed you to scorn...'" ! Isaiah 37:21-22

In this passage of scripture, you don't have to know who Sennacherib king of Assyria is, what he's done, or how it relates to Isaiah (although I encourage you to read it).

Just know that because Isaiah prayed, change happened.

The power of prayer is strong. Try it and see for yourself.

God bless,
J.W.
