Reading: 2 Chronicles 30-31, John 17, and 1 Corinthians 9
Scripture: 2 Chroniclers 31:1, Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and cut down the Asherim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.
Thoughts: There are groups that call themselves Christians, there are people who say they are Christian because their parents or grandparents were. We are not a religion that is passed down from parent to child just by being born. We are called to a personal relationship and to follow Christ. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Are we going to just assimilate into the world and look and act just like the world or are we going to be like Israel and go out to tear down the alters that the world worship at. Those alters take many forms, lust, sexual immorality, money, and selfishness. Are we tearing down those alters in our lives and helping others to identify and tear down their own? We need to our foxhole, those who are fighting by your side to overcome the strongholds and chains that are holding us back.
Prayer: Father God, you are so wonderful, your creation shouts of your glory all the earth sings in worship of who you are. I thank you that you are taking care of us, you are leading us and guiding us. I thank you for your provisions and blessings that you pour out on us. I thankyou for your refining and molding you are doing in my life. I ask that you help me to overcome my stronghold and alters that I put up in my life and to be the encouragement for others.
