Have you ever been to a place so anointed you feel a powerful connection with God? The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, is a place where ordinary people have experienced extraordinary events for thousands of years. Stories abound of prayers being answered, illnesses being healed, and impossible situations being resolved. It is a place of miracles and answered prayers!
King Solomon, widely known for his wisdom and spiritual connection to God, prayed in this very place. At the dedication of the first temple, he prayed a powerful prayer prophesying that all nations would someday come to this place seeking God, and God would honor their prayers. A prophecy that is coming true today!
“…listen from your home in heaven and answer their prayers. Then everyone on earth will worship you, just like your people Israel, and they will know that I have built this temple to honor You.” — 1 Kings 8:43
The Western Wall is the last remaining part of the Second Temple, which was destroyed in 70 CE. This remaining wall in Jerusalem is a reminder that although the temple was destroyed, along with all of Jerusalem, it is now rebuilt and unified. It also reminds us that even when even when God’s children are divided, whether politically or geographically, we can be renewed and reunified.
All things can be used for God’s glory. Out of the horrific event Israel experienced in October, has come a connection, a SACRED connection.
