My thoughts are brief but powerful this week.
Revivals. I must confess that I didn’t go anywhere near one of those “No Kings” revivals this past weekend. Unless I’m there to get fish and loaves from Jesus, I don’t like crowds. Besides, I worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. If I were to participate in protesting “No Kings,” I fear that Jesus Himself would strike me down. The same goes for a “No Lords” rally, should one exist. I’m just grateful that I’m not a renter. I’d hate to lose where I live just because I got caught at a “No Landlords” protest!
Revisions. Speaking of tenants, I’m surprised by the lengths that some tenants will go to change their surroundings without landlord approval. It’s one thing to repaint a wall in a rental. I daresay some tenants could even get away with minor structural adjustments if it were to benefit the owner. But when our government leaders demolish part of a house they don’t own, I draw the line. Set an example, for God’s sake! Anyone who moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in our nation’s capital city has a duty to maintain that house’s history and reverence, especially after promising that no such drastic changes would be made. Vengeance may be the Lord’s, but I can promise you that the next time one of his buildings gets trumped up somewhere, I’ll personally be sure that it will be a bit more than just a broken escalator!
Revisits. I am quite concerned about Brother JD Vance’s trip to Israel. It’s not that I don’t have faith in his diplomatic prowess (although I really don’t). It’s not that I’m concerned for his safety. I just have a burden in my heart for Brother Netanyahu. It is my prayer that Benji doesn’t remember what happened to the last dignitary little JD met with. That visit gave us a new pope! And Israel might want to RE-visit that memory!
