Your Choice

The Lord said to him:
“I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me;
I have consecrated this temple, which you have built,
by putting my Name there forever.
My eyes and my heart will always be there.

“As for you,
if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart
and uprightness, as David your father did, and do
all I command and observe my decrees and laws,
I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever,
as I promised David your father when I said,
‘You shall never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’

"But if you or your descendants turn away from me and do not
observe the commands and decrees I have given you and go off
to serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel
from the land I have given them and will reject this temple I have
consecrated for my Name. Israel will then become a byword and
an object of ridicule among all peoples. This temple will become
a heap of rubble.

All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff and say,
‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
People will answer,
‘Because they have forsaken the Lord their God,
who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and have
embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—
that is why the Lord brought all this disaster on them.’ 
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭9‬:‭3‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

My Peace and Healing

-
When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭(NLT) Don't be surprised when I send people to you for prayer. Allow me to reach out through you to touch them.‬‬ I will give you the words which they need. I will work my ways through you. Speak my peace and healing into their lives.

My Reflection

-
Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb  first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then  the disciples went back to where they were staying. ‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) I am alive and remain unchanged. Come sit with me. Allow my healing to flow over and through you. Allow my wisdom to guide and direct you in the way you should walk. I am your example. Grow, share and reflect me to others.

Show My Way

-
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV Don't be in a rush, but take time to stop and look/listen for me. Allow my correction to keep you on the right pathway. I will show you things you've not yet seen. My love will overflow you. Fill yourself with my written word. Don't rush through it. Allow it's stories and truth to show my way.
