“Little Rajah, Little King”

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3

READ: Isaiah 9:1-7

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. —Isaiah 2:11

In an editorial printed in Reaper magazine, David G. Stewart wrote, “In India we used to chuckle about baby pujah, or baby worship. All the women would gather around the baby in arms, and cluck like broody hens with their approval, and note the supposed likeness to mom or dad, and hold the fingers, touch the cheek, kiss the feet. A favorite term to describe the young baby boy was ‘Little Rajah, Little King.’ Though they do not actually bow down and worship a new baby, those Indians give so much attention to a new infant that it’s no wonder they call it ‘baby worship.’”

When Jesus was an infant, He too received adoration and honor. He was adored by shepherds who left their flocks in the fields to worship a baby in a manger. Why? Because He was the King of kings.

I wonder, as this Christmas season progresses, are you able to focus your attention, even briefly, on the One whose birth we celebrate? Even more, are you willing to bow down in humility and give Him the adoration He rightly deserves? Isaiah prophesied long ago that His name would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (9:6). Jesus was no ordinary baby. He truly was the King of all kings! —David C. Egner

As you bring your gifts to His cradle
And worship Him now as King,
Do you bow your knees to His power?
Is your life the offering you bring?  —Brill

When we recognize Jesus’ kingship, we will give Him our worship.

Bible in One Year:   Joel 1-3; Revelation 5

P.S. LOVE the pledge!!!!

[Billie]

Good morning thanks, sistah. I know you miss your 'puter, and I miss your 'puter, too. LOL!

Yes, I believe Lady Jag's spinning dim is a keeper!

[Billie]

P.S. LOVE the pledge!!!!

Am glad you like it - and you know, I'm sure, you can use it anytime. We don't have a lot longer we can use President Dubya's pledges. :(

[ConorMacNessa]

Great thread and Pledge, Billie! I'm still trying to pick myself up off the floor after JH's hilarious and tranchant comments.

Hi, Conor, and thank you. I did the pledge several months ago, but it seemed to go along with mention of 2006 'events' today.

John continues to amaze me - it's one thing to come up with funny stuff occasionally, but dang! he does it every week!

[MEG33]

This is truly laugh out loud funny..Thank you,John,for another "outta the park" essay and Billie for your presentation and pledge..Just great!

[Diver Dave]

What a GREAT masterpiece to end the year, John.

Here's wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas and New Year.

And Billie and Pookie, Outstanding graphics to compliment the award winning essay.

[Billie]

Thanks, Meg - John's taking a much-needed breather the last two weeks of this year.

[Billie]

Hey, Dave! Yep, he done good. :)

Sigh! Christmas in 11 days. Guess we're ready though. Cookies made, gifts wrapped, 2 cakes in the freezer, potatoes on the half shell in freezer ready to go in the oven the second time, and tenderloins in freezer, ready to thaw and marinate.

Would you bring the hoover and run through the house once again, like a week from today? :)

NICE presentation of Mr. President! God bless the Commander in Chief.

Honor and gratitude to our aweseme troops, this and every day!

[La Enchiladita]

John, I confess I am usually too busy to read but glad I did so this time.

How about that dunderhead Reyes?! Maybe if his staff would translate stuff into Spanish for him.... ? Nah....

Loved this too: In response to Hezbollah's murder of Israeli civilians and other social work, the world blasted Israel for its "disproportionate response."

A strongly-worded U.N. resolution eventually passed, now there's only love and harmony between Israel and Lebanon.

A few more of these U.N. resolutions, and you'll have the Garden of Eden, home of Adam and Eve, the first Palestinians.
