“Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram instead of in the Lord your God, you missed your chance to destroy the army of the king of Aram. 

The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.

He followed the example of Jeroboam in all the sins he had committed and led Israel to commit.

First Ahab built a temple and an altar for Baal in Samaria. 33Then he set up an Asherah pole. He did more to provoke the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than any of the other kings of Israel before him.

Yet even with the severity of his disease, he did not seek the Lord’s help but turned only to his physicians.

Lord God my Father,

I trust you, show me how to not be distracted, I wish to only worship you but I struggle to keep my focus on you. Keep me from my sin nature and help my hands only build for your Glory and seek you and trust you wholeheartedly.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
