Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

July 4



2 Kings 12-13; 2 Chronicles 24
Joash is a bright spot in the line of kings following David.  He did what was right in God’s eyes, listening to God’s priests and following His commands.  On the other hand, the people of Israel would not listen to the prophets.  There are many prophets.  Well, maybe preachers, teachers, overseers, shepherds, elders . . . those who proclaim the Word of God, teaching His followers how to live a life for Christ.  So, the question is, do we listen to them or not?  I have spent most of my Christian life working hard to teach the truth to others.  I firmly believe that most who aspire to proclaim God’s word put a lot of work into preparation and delivery.  God uses these to further His cause.  Are we going to listen and follow?
