Scripture: 2 Chronicles 15:2 he shouted. “Listen, all you people of Judah and Benjamin! The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him.
2 Chronicles 15:7 But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.”
Observation: The middle east has always been a place where there is constant fighting. Especially back in the Old Testament times. Whenever Israel followed God, they would be free and victorious. Whenever there strayed away from God, they were always captured by another country. Maybe it sounds cruel, but its just like a parent disciplining their child. The parent doesn’t want to do it, or allow things to happen, but has to in order for the child to learn and grow. King Asa was leading the southern kingdom of Israel. The northern kingdom was far from God. Azariah came to King Asa encouraging him to keep fighting for God. He told the King to stay strong and courageous, for his work will be rewarded.
Application: Today is the last day for this reading plan. The constant theme is to be strong and courageous. Also that you will be rewarded for the work that you do. I feel that after reading this plan, I feel much stronger and courageous than I was before. I am taking more of the right steps. I am happier. A lot of that is that I am back in God’s Word. I may have missed a day or two, but it’s more time than I have spent in a long time. My application is to be stronger and more courageous in everything I do.
Prayer: God, I pray that I can be strong and courageous in EVERYTHING I do. I know that it all starts with me. It starts with my attitude. I thank You for being so patient with me. I will continue to grow. I will stay in Your Word. Thank You, Jesus. Amen
