Heavenly Father, what a lesson to learn that nothing should be allowed to compete with Christ’s exalted position in my life, and no one should ever be elevated above the Lord Jesus. Thank You for the many lessons I can learn from the history of Israel, the things to avoid, the way to behave, the need to trust Your Word, the importance to hold fast to the truth, and the blessing to be guided by Your Spirit. I pray that, day by day, I would learn from these lessons and live my life to Your glory and honour. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word of truth and for the many examples of your goodness, grace, and faithfulness to Your people, both the nation of Israel, and the Body of Christ. Thank You that You are fulfilling the Word You spoke to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David, and that Your promises will never fail, for You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Thank You that Jesus is coming back to sit on the throne of David, as Scripture reveals. In the meantime, help me to live and work to Your praise and glory, through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
