As I navigate this day…. (devo reflection)

2 Chron 34:27a ‘Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before God when you heard what He spoke against this place and its people….

Lord, I humble myself before You this morning. I am so tired. I am so angry. I am so frustrated and afraid. Forgive me for allowing these emotions to eclipse what I know to be true: You are good and loving. You are sovereign and in control, You can use ALL things for my good and Your glory if I allow. Help me, Lord, as I navigate this day.

2 Chron 34:27b …and because you humbled yourself before me and tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you, declares the LORD.’

Lord, Help me to continue to humble myself before You, even after I leave the shelter of my recliner. When I am interacting with people whose beliefs and agendas are different than mine, help me to stand humbly before You, shining Your light. Take me out of myself, Lord. Fill me with Your peace, Your compassion, Your love.

2 Chron 34:31a The king stood by his pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD….

Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that it’s not about me. It is about You and Your fierce, unconditional, unwavering, compassionate love, grace, and mercy. Help me, Lord, to humble myself before You and to shine Your light. Draw me closer. Amen.

2 Chron 34:31b …to follow the LORD and keep His commands, statutes and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, and to obey the words of the covenant written in this book.

Have a blessed day.
