All through this week I am sharing personal jottings from my daily prayer journal in the hope they will be a help and encouragement to you in your walk with God. Here's what I wrote one day in late August.
Ps 102 – this psalm speaks of God's permanence, though other things may pass away, he will endure – that is very reassuring Father.
2 Chr 24 – This tells the story of Joash who started well as king following the guidance of the priest Jehoida, but by the time of his death Joash was listening to bad advisers and had turned away from God. It is sad how people can start keen, enthusiastically and with a heart to do God's will in their lives, but then they fall away. Father help me to finish well!
1 Cor 16:13,14 – Watch, steadfast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love (NKJV)
Father this is a great text – it could be the m2o text for 2012 and be used for five daily devotionals.
Father help me to be watchful and to discern my situation and all that goes on around me. Help me to hold fast to faith even when things are hard. In the face of difficulty or opposition help me to be brave and strong and to do everything in love.
