Reading: 1 Chronicles 22-24 and Hebrews 1
Scripture: 1 Chronicles 22:14, With great pains I have provided for the house of the Lord 100,000 talents of gold, a million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond weighing, for there is so much of it; timber and stone, too, I have provided. To these you must add.
Thoughts: What are we preparing to pass down to our children? We have been so trained by media and society that we need to always be striving after the next new thing, a bigger house, a newer car, the latest phone, and to get these things to go into debt to get them. It used to be that we would save to buy a house or a car and fix things instead of buying new. We would also have some sort of inheritance for our children even if it was the family home. Yes kings has a bit more available to them, but it still says David took great pains to provide what he did, but this was not just an inheritance for Solomon but was the provisions for his job that he was told Solomon would do. Are we taking pains to train up our children with good work ethics, give them opportunities to learn new things encouragement to pursue things they love and most importantly how to love God and love others? Pouring onto them and teaching them about God is an inheritance that can never be taken away and will form the way they walk in this world.
Prayer: Father God, you are so wonderful, your provision overflows and abundantly provides for us. You lead and guide us. Open my eyes to the opportunities that you bring before me every day.
