So what happened to yesterdays post? Well I did do the reading. I didn’t get a whole lot out of it. Thats going to happen sometimes. I had a good prayer time but I didn’t have anything to write about. Since I am sharing what I am going through I am going to post the scripture that I read. The reading was from 1 John 2:27-29 and 1 John 4:13-19. Feel free to read it on your own. If you want to share, feel free to share in the comment section below. Now onto todays reading.
Scripture: 1 Chronicles 22:13 For you will be successful if you carefully obey the decrees and regulations that the Lord gave to Israel through Moses. Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart!
1 Chronicles 28:20 Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly.
Observation: This is a pretty cool passage. It’s a conversation between a father and a son…between the greatest human king of Israel and his son….between the man after God’s own heart and who ends up being the wisest man to ever live. David was telling his son Solomon that he was going to be in charge of building God’s temple. That’s a pretty hefty task that is put on Solomon. David tells Solomon to be strong and courageous as he takes on the task. He also told him that as long as he follows God’s word and does the work, he will be successful.
Application: Solomon had a pretty huge task that was put on him. I have nothing anywhere near that huge on me. But I do have a big responsibility on me at Catalyst Church. I have done a lot, but I havent been as strong and courageous as I could have been. I could do a MUCH better job leading the setup and production teams. I think over the last week or so I have stepped up a lot….in a lot of things. I will continue to grow and do the work. I need to work on following God’s Word more, but I have been doing a lot better.
Prayer: God, I thank you for trusting me with helping people find God through Catalyst. I know I haven’t lived up to my potential, but I am changing that now. I want to be able to say that I did everything I can to make Jesus famous. I don’t want to have any regrets. I pray that I will constantly be pushed in the right direction. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
