2 Chron 14:2 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
Lord, I’m feeling rather sorry for myself this morning. Thank You for allowing me to recognize the feeling. Thank You for the strength to keep dragging my mind and heart back to You. Thank You that I’m just exhausted from a long week. Nothing more.
2 Chron 14:4 He commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their ancestors, and to obey His laws and commands.
Lord, I know that true rest can only come from You. Thank You for the knowledge. Thank You for allowing me rest and shelter in Your arms. Thank You for allowing me to rest at Your feet.
2 Chron 14:6 …No one was at war with him during those years, for the LORD gave him rest.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for this scripture. It is far too easy, especially at the end of a week, for me to get maudlin and moody. But to give in to those feelings would mean that I have taken my eyes off of You and allowed myself to become the center of my world. Help me to keep refocusing my mind and heart on You. Renew my spirit. Draw me closer. Amen.
2 Chron 14:11 Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, “LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, LORD our God, for we rely on You…”
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
