Do you know that as a believer in Jesus of Nazareth, you are a king? Look at Romans 5:17:
17 For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Since you ARE a king, then Psalm 21:7 should cause you to rejoice!
7 For the king trusts, relies on, and is confident in the LORD, and through the mercy and steadfast love of the Most High he will never be moved.
The word "moved" is the Hebrew word "mowt", which means: to totter, to shake, to slip, to be shaken, to be overthrown, to let fall. As long as you keep your faith, trust and confidence in the God of the Bible to deliver you, you will NOT be "moved"! What a great promise!
In Matthew 21 we read about Jesus coming down from the Mount of Olives into the city of Jerusalem. He cleaned out the Temple and the people loved Him! Here is the rest of the chapter from the Visual Bible - Matthew:
1 Kings 17-18 is all about Elijah and his dealings with Ahab and the prophets of Baal. When we were in Israel last year we stood where this took place. here are a couple of pictures:

The group of people we were blessed to go to Israel with!
Shalom in Him!
