2 Chron 2:4a Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the LORD my God….
My purpose for these daily reflections has always been to draw closer to my Savior, to be intentional about the time I spend with Him, to be intentional about the reading I do in His words, to be intentional about applying His truths to my life. And intentionality is the main thing I see in this passage—intentionality about honoring God.
2 Chron 2:4b …and to dedicate it to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him….
Much of my life feels incredibly reactive—reacting to schedule changes, to classroom climate, to family issues. My morning prayer and reflection time is one way that I can intentionally make time for my Savior, sit at His feet, soak in His presence, be still and know.
2 Chron 2:4c …for setting out the consecrated bread regularly….
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder to be intentional about the time I spend with You. There will always be unexpected things in this life, things I have to react to. Help me to fortify myself for those times through my intentionality with You. Draw me closer. Amen.
2 Chron 2:4d …and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the appointed festivals of the LORD our God….
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
