The Western Wall

We have spent a few days in the Gallilee of miracles where the Jesus-gospels become so alive! Yesterday we came to Jerusalem - I love this city - the hub of the world, the capital of the world and the city of the Great King! We are praying at the Western Wall today. The Western Wall is the last little part of King Herod the great's temple and one of the Jews most holy places...


The Bible says:

As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple, then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
2 Chron 6:32-33

We are aliens in the eyes of the Jews, but also grafted in into the promises of Israel according to Rom 11:17-18 and we can pray with great confidence to the Holy God of Israel and the Creator of the whole world!

My good friend and travel buddy, Omid Dadary and I each wrote a prayer note this morning in the hotel room that we'll place between the stones at the Western Wall after our prayer there today...

See ya!
