Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the historical events that it contains, which so often sets an example of how to live a life that honours You by walking in spirit and truth, or being warned of what to avoid if we are not to fall into the trap of living in the lust of the flesh, or walking in the pride of our own heart. I pray that I may be 'a man after God's own heart,' and become increasingly sensitive to the inner promptings of the Holy Spirit, so that I may carry out Your best will and purpose for my life. May all I do be to Your honour and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
