Then Jehoahaz sought the Lord’s favor, and the Lord listened to him, for he saw how severely the king of Aram was oppressing Israel. 5The Lord provided a deliverer for Israel, and they escaped from the power of Aram.

All the officials and all the people brought their contributions gladly, dropping them into the chest until it was full.

He was buried with the kings in the City of David, because of the good he had done in Israel for God and his temple.

Lord God my Father,

You are the only Peace and Truth available to me, help me to allow your way to rest on my well so I may experience you as you desire and share you as you freely. I pray your love fills me to the point that you are seen in all I do. Help me to serve gladly and delightfully.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
