"I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen." (Luther's Morning Prayer)
Wednesday, May 29, 2024 - Day 150 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: I Chron. 28,29; John 11:47-57 )
GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU
“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it.” (1 Chronicles 28:9-10 ESV)
In our reading highlight for today, Solomon is getting fatherly advice from his dad, King David. And what advice it is!
● Know the God of your father
● serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing mind,
● seek Him and you will find Him
● Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary;
● be strong and do it.
Your heavenly Father has the same advice for you, with one modification. Of course you are not building a temple for the Lord.
● Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to...
May the Lord bless and guide you as you obediently seek His plan for your life.
Heavenly Father, please equip and motivate me to live the life that You have planned for me. Thank You for providing the motivation and example for a life of service that You have revealed to me in the life of Jesus, my Savior, in whose precious name I pray. And as ever, THY WILL BE DONE. Amen.
