Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple of Israel

We have recently seen a huge interest in the “prayer of Jabez” along with many sermons and books on it.

But in the recent events we have witnessed and that are impacting America and our lives as never before since World War II, I am drawn back to the prayer of Solomon at the dedication of the Temple he built in Israel for God.

Here follows verses that really speak to my heart, as I feel our nation was “birthed” as a Christian nation, and we had All-Mighty God woven into the very fabric of America.

What is “Absolute?”

The dictionary defines it as: 1. Free from imperfection; complete, perfect: absolute liberty. 2. Not mixed or adulterated: pure. 3. Complete; outright: 4. Free from restriction or limitation; not limited in any way. 5. Unrestrained or unlimited by a constitution, counterbalancing group, etc., in the exercise of governmental power, especially when arbitrary or despotic: an absolute monarch. 6. Viewed independently; not comparative or relative; ultimate; intrinsic: absolute knowledge. And so on, and so on.

In the early 1900′s, Albert Einstein announced his “theory of relativity” in physics. A unit of radiant energy, equal to the energy of radiation that is capable of photochemically changing one mol of a photosensitive substance, i.e.; E=MC2 (squared.)

The “world” was so enamoured of his genius, that they expanded his “theory” into all areas of our life. He was so alarmed by this, that he said, “Relativity is for physics, not ethics.”

The only “absolute” is God. Thus, God’s law is “absolute.” His law is His “intrinsic being.” And, since He is God, that is the only way it can be. (How could He be God, and His laws not be “absolute?”)
