Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
This Biting indictment of Idolatry in the Book of Isaiah would be hilarious if it were not so tragic. In fact, Herman Melville narrates a similar scene in the opening chapters of "Moby Dick", as he observes his shipmate Queequeg worshiping his little wooden idol, and then plopping it unceremoniously into his seabag! The irony and silliness of the situation is inescapable!
Yet, people continue to make idols with their own hands and worship them, even in our modern age. Idols can be made of wood, or gold, or even electrons on a plasma screen. They can even be a face in the mirror, or even an IDEA.
Yet, like the little pagan's chunk of wood, half of which cooked his dinner, all these things are destined to become ashes.
Come and Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
Hallelujah and Amen
