Then Asa cried out to the Lord his God: “Lord, there is no one besides You to help the mighty and those without strength. Help us, Lord our God, for we depend on You, and in Your name we have come against this large army. Yahweh, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal hinder You.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭14‬:‭11‬ ‭HCSB Without me you have nothing but an empty page. You will be empty and lost. Come closer and hear the words I have to speak. Understand them in the context of my pure light. The enemy will continue to come at you, but you have an option. You do not need to fear. You are surrounded by my warriors. My host will move on your behalf. Take a stand. Raise your voice in triumph and push back the enemy.

We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Return. Sit beneath the shadow of my protection. Hear my words of truth. They will guide you in your journey. They will demonstrate my heart. I am there with you now. Call out to me and listen for my direction.

I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. The Lord should be praised. I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭GW‬‬ Don't avoid those hard places, but learn to walk through them with me. Allow my ways to bring the needed healing. Ask me and receive my strength. I am yet the way you need to follow.

When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices, and the Lord’s glory filled the temple. The priests couldn’t go into the Lord’s temple because the Lord’s glory had filled the Lord’s temple. When all the Israelites saw the fire come down and the Lord’s glory on the temple, they knelt down with their faces on the pavement. They worshiped and praised the Lord, by saying, “He is good; his mercy endures forever.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭GW‬‬ What do you hear when you listen for me? Quiet the noisy voices the enemy has sent. Sit with me and refresh yourself. Come beneath my shadow. I will continue to be your protector. I have provided the way for you. Now walk in it.

Close your eyes. Block out the distractions of your day. Allow me to guide you in the direction I have set for you. Learn to take the time to read my word. I will speak to to you through it. Listen even now. I am there with you. Be washed in the purity of my Word. I will speak to you. Are you listening?

In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” Solomon said to God, “You have dealt with my father David with great lovingkindness, and have made me king in his place. Now, O Lord God, Your promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Don't be fearful, but trust in me. Follow what I have told you before. I am your unchanging Father. Trust me. My love never ends.

Then David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished. ‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭28‬:‭20‬ (‭NASB1995)‬‬ Put aside the distractions of your day. Sit with me and listen as I speak to you. I will fill you with truth and hope. I will guide you in the way to a full life in me. Quiet your mind. Find your peace in me.
