Today's Reading
2 Chronicles: two of my thoughts surfaced as I read about the beginning of Solomon's reign. The first was that the details required to get the Temple built were enormous -- that in itself was an answer to Solomon's prayer for wisdom and understanding. The second was a realization of the vast amount of labor it took to build it, all with hand tools. I wonder if the laborers understood they were building a house for God.
Romans: this is one of the deepest chapters in the whole Bible. It really helps to take it at a simple level. Before we meet Christ and are born again, we are slaves to sin. After our spiritual birth, we are no long enslaved to sin, but are servants of God. We change from the inside out, but we must choose to cooperate with what God has done in our hearts.
Psalms: "I know that Lord is always with me." Oh, but how easily I disregard His presence!
Proverbs: it is so easy to desire control of our own lives. We make plans and they fall apart so we are frustrated. At least I do. I need to remember that verse!
And you?

Psalm 16:7-8 is beautiful. The Lord counsels me, even at night. May I "set the Lord always before me." He is my Sustainer and Protector therefore I will not be shaken.
