If both you and your king follow GOD, no problem. GOD will be sure to save you. But if you don’t obey him and rebel against what he tells you, king or no king, you will fare no better than your fathers.
JAMES 1:25 (CEV)
But you must never stop looking at the perfect law that sets you free. God will bless you in everything you do, if you listen and obey, and don't just hear and forget.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Listening to God + acting on what he says = great blessing
DAILY FODDER
What is God's word saying to you these days?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for all the instruction that you've given to us. Forgive us when we treat your message as a lifeless set of rules which we use to condemn ourselves and others. Indeed, we're all inconsistent and your instructions whistle through our heads without lodging into our hearts. Slow me down so that your message sticks and becomes a part of my life. I know how things go sideways when I don't listen, so, empowered by your Spirit I'm going to listen and do. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
