2 Kings 14:3a He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done before….
Lord, I feel like I am still struggling with my high places, the fear that so often lingers in my life. I know that that fear has to do with my need for control and my inability to lay my worries at Your feet and leave them there. I can’t explain the logic behind bringing my worries to You and them dragging them away with me. I don’t want to continue this cycle.
2 Kings 14:3b …In everything he followed the example of his father Joash.
Lord, What I want more than anything is Your peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding, the peace that comes from turning all my worries and burdens over to You and leaving them in Your mighty hands. Help me to remove these high places, Lord, to submit them to You.
2 Kings 14:4a The high places, however, were not removed….
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for helping me recognize what my high places are. Help me destroy every stronghold and submit every part of my life to You. You are sovereign. You are worthy. Help me, Jesus. Amen.
2 Kings 14:4b …the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
