Reading: 1 Kings 15, 2 Chronicles 14-16, and Revelation 6
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 16:9, For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. You have done foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars.
Thoughts: In times of weakness I have heard and have said to God, “Where are you? Am I alone in this?” One of my biggest struggles is my feelings of inadequacy, because of the way the school system treated me in elementary. Even though in 2 Chronicles this passage was meant as a rebuke to King Asa because he was seeking help from and relying on the king of Syria. God is reminding me in this passage that he sees me as he looks to and fro, I have his strong support. My heart is not blameless because of anything I did or didn’t do but because of what Christ did for me.
Prayer: Father, I love you and I thank you for the men you have brought to me to pour into me. I thank you for all that you have given to us and the blessings you pour out on us each day. I thank you that your strength and your guidance in times of need.
