This is a real reminder for us all about the Sovereign Lord over all the earth. We trust Him even during these turbulent times. Our God reigns and we remain faithful and stand upon His Word and truth no matter what is going on around us. May God bless His people and keep them in perfect peace and joy. Thank you for the beautiful devotion you shared.

Please pray for my friend's husband, probably dying in the hospital. He needs Jesus desperately

We can't be faithful without hearing God. It is an absolute must to be able to hear His voice. Once we've heard Him we must obey which leads to transformation and the journey continues thus way as we mature and grow into Christ's likeness.

We also must pray even for the political leaders who claim to serve God, we never know their true hearts, and a lot of them lie to get Christians to vote for them. Pray for all, both professing and non-professing people in leadership. And for ourselves, the people too! All people.

Isaiah 6:1 ESV In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing because if they did come to know Jesus & did good instead of evil just think how amazing life could be.

I usually just pray that those kinds of political leaders are removed or voted out

It looks like the moon in the flat earther’s video rotated too, then the shadow continued along the path that it originally was going. It looks like he doctored the video to make the 90° rotation claim accurate, to me anyway 😂

Exactly what “political instability” are you referencing? I sincerely hope this is not some sort of back handed, passive aggressive comment about our current administration, because I prayed for the last anti Christian administration just as much as I do this one, and I loathed the previous one.

Christian's interpretating their man-god into Jewish scripture. The Jewish god is YHWH, and Jesus was just a prophet. The god version of Jesus is just the Christian version of Tammuz.

Answers in Genesis
Uzziah was a godly king who ruled for a long time. His reign was a time of reform and stability for Israel. Though he was judged for breaching the division between king and priest with leprosy, Uzziah’s death was a time of uncertainty. Would the next king be faithful?
That year, Isaiah received a revelation of God’s glory. The vision was so overwhelming that Isaiah seemed to expect to die in the presence of such holiness. He felt an overwhelming realization of the depth of his own sin and of his society. After the angel touched a hot coal from the altar to his lips to cleanse them, God commissioned Isaiah to be a prophet.
Just as God’s declaration to Moses of his glory was definitional for all who followed, this revelation of God’s glory was an important addition to what God revealed about himself to us. It served as an important reminder that while even the best kings and political leaders will be replaced, God sits on an eternal throne and is in charge in times of great uncertainty.
There is an important Christian element, however, because the Apostle John says Isaiah saw Jesus’ glory in John 12:41. If you were to ask Isaiah whose glory he saw, he would have said, “The Lord’s.” But if you ask John whose glory Isaiah saw, he would say, “Jesus’.” In fact, what Isaiah saw was a vision of the preincarnate Son of God.
Like Isaiah, we live in a time of political instability and growing godlessness. But like Isaiah, we have a king whose throne will never be challenged. This should encourage us as we follow him in an increasingly hostile society.
Isaiah’s ministry did not lead to spiritual reform in Judah. In fact, tradition suggests that he was murdered in his old age, just like most of the apostles and many believers in the Old and New Testaments who were martyred for their faith. Yet for the rest of his life, he continued proclaiming God’s glory and prophesied the coming Messiah.
Suggestion for Prayer: How can Christians be faithful during times of political uncertainty as we trust in God’s ultimate kingship?
Questions for Discussion/Reflection: Pray for a particular political leader, whether on the local or national level, who has been openly hostile to Christianity (1 Timothy 2:1–2). Ask for God to change their hearts, save them with the power of the gospel, and hinder their opposition to Christianity.
