Are you throwing away the wrong load? Praying to the wrong God. The mariners in the boat with Jonah prayed to their gods and threw away their load but it did not lighten the ship or ease their storm as they hoped. I pray we do not focus on throwing away other heavy loads when our real problem is fast asleep.

Let us stand in the gap and intercede for our land.

David wanted to build a house for God but was that the immediate need? God had to redirect him and point him in the way of what was more pressing. Whatever you want to do for God, be sure it is truly what He wants you to do for Him at this particular time.

This is a beautiful story of love, loyalty and devotion from the book of Chronicles. Another reason to study this amazing book of the Bible.

The prayer of Jabez is a hidden nugget within the book of 1st Chronicles. It's hidden in the midst of begat this and that. Another reason to study the whole Bible.

Do you read the book of Chronicles? Or do you skip? We should never do hop, step and jump with the Bible. Let's study chronicles and find nuggets therein.

Hezekiah repented and prayed when he was ill but he accepted God's verdict without question when he knew he would not be personally affected. This is the picture of leadership in our land! We must become generational thinkers if the purpose of God is to be done through us.

We are called to serve God only and when we try to serve our God and others we become weak and powerless. This us why we often pray and nothing changes in our world. It is why there appears to be no difference between us and the world we have been called to save. I pray that we find the strength to return to a place if true worship of Jehovah God, in spirit and in truth. Amen

Gideon gave an offering when he was too cowardly to believe what God was saying to him. Do we call that a "courage offering?"

We must never allow ourselves to take major decisions without asking counsel of the LORD. The 5 senses will fail us if that is all we depend on.
