Reading of how Solomon finished building the Temple of the Lord was really interesting.  How he furnished it with only the best, the large basins to be cleansed in, the large “sea" for the priests to be cleansed in, all covered in bronze and gold, you know that has to be absolutely beautiful.  All of this was built by hand, nothing was built by a machine because there were no machines back then, only the hands of the men who built them.  What a lot of work to be done by hand, makes you know how proud they must have been to accomplish such a task as that was. 

Reading the rest of the Word this morning has been amazing in itself. These past few days the Word has been full of wisdom and good teaching, it’s almost to hard to digest it all without going back and reading it again and again.  When I do that I always seem to find something else that I missed. 

Today’s Reading

2 Chronicles 4:1-6:11
Romans 7:1-13
Psalm 17:1-15
Proverbs 19:22-23

Daily Devotional

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight"
(Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV)

We all have times when our plans don't work out. We get delayed, interrupted, and inconvenienced. It's easy to get frustrated and fight against everything that doesn't go our way. But I've learned that every interruption is not bad. Every closed door doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. Every delay doesn't mean you're not where you're supposed to be. There is something I call a divine interruption where God, on purpose, will delay us to protect us from an accident. On purpose, He will close a door because it's not His best. Sometimes, God will allow us to be inconvenienced so we can help someone else in need. We have to be willing to press through difficulty so we can be at the right place at the right time.

The next time you're interrupted, delayed, or inconvenienced, don't start thinking, "This is a pain. This is getting me off schedule." No, get a new perspective. Look for what God wants to do because it could be divine interruption or divine protection. Trust Him today because He is directing your steps.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me. I surrender every area of my mind, will, and emotions to You. Use me for Your glory today and teach me to discern Your ways. In Jesus' Name. Amen.




I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
