Ezra 7:23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? The king had great respect for God and His people. He desired to have them pray for […]

Genuine Repentance
II Chronicles 33:15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. Manasseh had been evil. He had brought idols […]

Corrupt people
II Chronicles 27:2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly. We finally have a king that is doing right. He will honor God. He will […]

The battle is the Lord’s
II Chronicles 20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. It is so easy when we are faced with difficult times […]

Kind words
II Chronicles 10:7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. It is incredible what kind words will do. People in leadership often think that they have the right to be rough, tough, in […]

The Glory of the Lord
II Chronicles 5:14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. What an excellent thought to know that God was so involved in your ministry that there would be no room even for you. God filled the […]

David was following the pattern
I Chronicles 28:19 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern. God spoke to David and showed him what He wanted to be done as He built the temple. God made David understand. God taught David the pattern. David wasn’t […]
Only One
I Chronicles 17:20 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. There is none but God. There is only One. There are others that are called gods, but they are not like the One and Only God of the […]

Time to seek God again
I Chronicles 13:3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul. The nation of Israel had gone a long time without seeking God. They had gone their own way. They had made their own decisions instead of finding God’s will […]

Not seeking God
I Chronicles 10:14 And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. Saul was a self-consumed, self-filled, self-directed man. He didn’t think he needed God. Saul didn’t ask God for direction or help. He lived his way. He did what he wanted to do. […]

Providing for
I Chronicles 6:64 And the children of Israel gave to the Levites these cities with their suburbs. God’s people gave to the Levites, the servants of God. They gave them cities to live in. They were responsible for providing for the priests, the Levites, their men of God. They did so in obedience to God’s […]

Horrible memory
I Chronicles 2:7 And the sons of Carmi; Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the thing accursed. Achar, Achan, is remembered all these years later. What a terrible way to be remembered. He was the troubler of his people. His sin wasn’t forgotten by the people. He had taken from what God told […]
Inseparable
II Kings 18:6 For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. He clave, stuck to, became one with and was inseparable from the Lord. He wouldn’t quit following God no matter the temptation. He wanted to be with God. He tried to […]
Separate yourself
II Kings 13:11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein. When you follow the sins of others, you will be doing evil in the sight of the Lord. […]

See my excitement and love for the Lord
II Kings 10:16 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot. Jehu is in love with God. He is a man on a mission. He invites a rider along to go with him in his chariot and see what he will do. […]

Using what is at hand
I Kings 4:2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. When God wanted to work a miracle in the life of this lady, He does so […]

Always negative
I Kings 22:8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. The wicked king […]

Making others sin
I Kings 15:26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. This man did evil in the sight of the Lord. He was following his dad’s example. That is a horrible testimony for a father. […]
Not fully following God
I Kings 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. Solomon didn’t follow after God like David, his father. He complied but half-heartedly. He did evil in the sight of the Lord. Sin, wrong, and evil are not determined by […]
Direct our hearts, please
I Kings 8:58 That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. God, please incline our hearts towards you. Direct our hearts and thoughts to you so that we will think on you and […]
