Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Meditating Upon The Names and Attributes of God
"King"
(Old Testament)
Zechariah 9:9-12
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
(End of Scripture Passage)
"King"
We are Americans. We Believe in The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights. The idea of a human "king" is foreign and archaic to us. Perhaps this is a good thing when accepting the idea of God as "KING". He is so far above any human's notion of "Kingship" that He Stands Alone as Sovereign King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And, unlike human "kings" He LOVES us with a Love that surpasses Knowledge. Power does not corrupt Him, as it would a human "king". Worship does not "flatter' Him, as it Would a human "king", either. Glory does not "spoil" Him, as it would a human "king". He is Righteous, Holy, and Good, so Our Worship is DUE to Him and Him Alone.
We pray for the Repentance, Restoration, and Renewal of Our Beloved Nation.
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
