Day 187

Father, 

You have the power to help or to cast down. You are sovereign over every war and disagreement. We praise You for the fact that You have commanded and secured an eternal victory for Your Kingdom, and we thank You that, as Your kids, we eternally benefit from that! Jesus, we praise You for making that possible, and Spirit, we praise You for marking us as God’s kids, inheritors of the Kingdom

We easily forget that victory isn’t just FROM You, but it’s IN You, God. We look to You for rescue but not relationship. Like Amaziah, when we get victory, we get proud. We fix our eyes on ourselves, puff ourselves up. We don’t listen to rebukes. We’ve been arrogant and unteachable at times, and our disobedience has been costly. We repent. Have mercy on me, and make my heart clean.

Would You humble us to seek Your wisdom? Help us listen to wise counsel. Keep us from going on auto-pilot with our lives and our desires, and remind us to ask You for guidance today, God. Give us hearts to obey You and help us to find joy in every step.

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
