1 Chronicles 29

1 Chronicles 29:16-17 “O Lord our God, even this material we have gathered to build a temple to honor your Holy name comes from you!  It all belongs to you!  I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there.  You know I done all this with good motives, and I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyfully.”

As David’s prayer says, everything we have is God’s, so why do we hold on so tightly to it?  We need to read and pray so we can offer our gifts willingly and joyously to Him.  Our tithe should never trouble us as we are giving God back what is His.  Our spiritual maturity grows as we fill ourselves with wisdom from God.  We should never feel satisfied where we are in our journey with the Lord.

David prays for his people in verse 18 “O Lord, the God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, make your people always want to obey you.  See to it that their love for you never changes.”

We should pray these types of prayers also, it is so important to always focus on being obedient and loving God above all else.  Everything we do should be done out of willingness and joy because God has given us so much because of His love.  Amen

1 Chronicles 22:12-13 “And may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding, that you may obey the law of the Lord your God as you rule over Israel.  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.”

We should have prayers like this to the Lord for our kids.  We should always turn to the Lord and be strong and courageous and live to glorify Him in all we do. 

Jesus goes and prays for us in John 17:20-21 “I am praying not for these disciples but for all who will ever believe in me through their message.  I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one- as you are in me, Father, and I am in you.  And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.”

Show by the way you live that you are full of the Spirit and one with the Lord.  This is what makes a difference for people to see Christ in all of us.  When we are living as one we are full of light and darkness flees, so remember to pray and open God’s word and ask for wisdom from the Lord.  Amen

1 Chronicles 16:11 “Search for the Lord and for His strength; continually seek Him.”

This is great direction for us to follow; we can never stop seeking Him.  When we get comfortable with our walk and we feel we can take it easy we must seek Him even more.  I love that it says continually because to me that means it is a true relationship.  Relationships should be constantly growing and developing we should never take them for granted and stop working on them because we are comfortable.  Turn to God for everything, slow down and be still so you can hear and feel His presence then live in the strength he give.  Amen
