Kings 15
Dear Saints,
Today we are prayerfully
reading, 2 Kings 15. We see a lot of turmoil in the Holy Land,
as we read today’s Feast. Jotham
the son of Uzziah, reigns as king of Judah. Though he did what was right in the eyes
of the lord, he didn’t do everything that God expected. God allowed army’s to continue to raid
his kingdom because he did things halfway. “37 In those days the Lord began to send
Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. 38
Jotham slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city
of David his father, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.“ 2nd Kings 15:37-38
English - Standard Version (ESV). We
can’t serve our God halfway. Jesus
is the center of a Godly life, with no high places on the side. When we sin we must repent and ask God to
forgive us. With everything we’ve
read in God’s Word we know we can depend on God. “For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.” Psalm
86:5 ESV. We are saved, by grace not by
our own works. When we sin we must
be faithful to repent and ask God for forgiveness. Jesus loves you, keep the first thing
first. That is salvation through the
blood of our Lord Jesus. God is not
willing that any should perish, so he is true to forgive us when we ask for
forgiveness.

SCRIPTURES:
2 PETER 3:8-15
8 ¶ Don’t
overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a
thousand years, a thousand years as a day.
9 ¶ God isn’t
late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself
on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn’t want anyone
lost. He’s giving everyone space and time to change.
10 But when
the Day of God’s Judgment does come, it will be unannounced, like a
thief. The sky will collapse with a thunderous bang, everything
disintegrating in a huge conflagration, earth and all its works exposed
to the scrutiny of Judgment.
11 ¶ Since
everything here today might well be gone tomorrow; do you see how
essential it is to live a holy life?
12 Daily
expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival. The galaxies will burn up
and the elements melt down that day—
13 but we’ll
hardly notice. We’ll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new
heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness.
14 So, my dear
friends, since this is what you have to look forward to, do your very
best to be found living at your best, in purity and peace.
15 Interpret
our Master’s patient restraint for what it is: salvation.
DEVOTIONAL:
“PREPARING TO MEET GOD”
Recently we
traveled to Nebraska to see my youngest daughter and family. When we landed
I entered the airport scanning the crowd to spot my daughter who I had
not seen in 15 years. When I saw her my heart jumped and joy filled my
soul. Have you thought how you are going to feel when Jesus returns? Will
you be able to say, “My Lord I have been waiting for you and I am so glad
you are here? Verse 11 in the scripture reminds us that is essential to
live a holy life and to daily expect the Day of God. As the earth burns
up our attention will focus on the promised new earth which is landscaped
with righteousness. When you wake up in the morning ask yourself is this
the day that I will meet the Lord and may our reply be like John in
Revelation, “Even so Lord come Quickly.” Remember when the last person is
saved that God has waited patiently on, it is then he will come. So share
Him every day, email, phone, write, telephone and share Christ.
PRAYER:
GOD I WANT TO BE READY FOR YOU. PLEASE LORD FORGIVE ME OF MY SIN AND SAVE
ME.

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy
of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and
gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to
maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3
