May His desire be mine.

“Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.

The people rejoiced over the offerings, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the lord,

Lord God, my Father
Thank you for this time of fellowship and learning. Lord God, I pray for your courage and power to be mine and for my steps today to please you. Lord God may my life be for your pleasure.
In Jesus name,
Amen

To completely own my sin.

“I have sinned greatly by taking this census. Please forgive my guilt for doing this foolish thing.

I will not present burnt offerings that have cost me nothing!”

Lord God,
I pray for a spirit like David who cried out to you with his sin and his willingness to pay the cost from his heart.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Power of the Lord conquers all.

But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan, the son of David’s brother Shimea.
8These Philistines were descendants of the giants of Gath, but David and his warriors killed them.

No matter how large the enemy of God is, with God all things will lead to His glory.

Lord God, Give me power over my simple minded fears. Grant me wisdom and confidence to do your will in all struggles around me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Legal or not, is it the rite thing to do.

The whole assembly agreed to this, for the people could see it was the right thing to do.

the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark. 10Then the lord’s anger was aroused against Uzzah, and he struck him dead because he had laid his hand on the Ark.

We failed to ask God how to move it properly.

When she saw King David skipping about and laughing with joy, she was filled with contempt for him.

To see the right thing to do, God placed 10 commandments on his people, how many laws have the people made to compromise on these commandments. Oh to follow what Hod puts on my heart and to do what I know is rite with Him.
Uzzah only wanted to protect harm from coming to the arc, God’s command is non negotiable, he is able to take care of himself plus when we don’t ask God for direction we do his will wrong, mess up and pay the consequence.
We need to act in His will freely no matter the opinion of the world.

Lord God,
I thank you for your word. Continue to release your will in me and direct my actions, may I delight in you to the point the world sees you thru me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Call on God in all things.

“Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.

They cried out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayer because they trusted in him.

Lord God,
May your presence be on my heart all the minutes of this day so I may do your will. Give me strength and discernment to see and overthrow any actions or thoughts that may not please you. May I delight in following you this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen

spiritual maintenance

So I purged out everything foreign and assigned tasks to the priests and Levites, making certain that each knew his work. 31I also made sure that the supply of wood for the altar and the first portions of the harvest were brought at the proper times.
Remember this in my favor, O my God.

Lord God,
Give me your discernment about my faith. Reveal ate pockets of sin I carry in my life and give me strength to overcome them and give my all to following you and your desires for me. Help me to become a slave to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen
