Father God, Your Word is sure and true. You watch over it to perform it. And You are faithful to Your covenant with Your people. Although they sinned, as we also sin, and have to bear the consequences in the natural, You still provide salvation and won't let the enemy utterly destroy Your people. Help us to make wise choices, Father, choices that result in a good harvest. May we always walk in Your blessing.  Amen

Today on Meditating the Word, Jotham's and Ahaz's reigns over Judah, Syria and Israel defeat Judah, the Prophet Oded intercedes, Ahaz's apostasy and death, Hoshea reigns in Israel, the exile and Assyria's resettlement of Samaria.
This is Day 196. Today we are reading 2nd Chronicles 28 and 2nd Kings 16 and 17.----
Father God, We are reminded that Jesus said we couldn't serve two masters. The children of Israel tried to serve both You and other gods, and they destroyed themselves in the process. We may not make molten calves or carved idols, but we still sometimes get lost in the worship -- or reliance on and trust in -- things we build with our own hands instead of relying and trusting in You alone. Help us, Father, to serve You with all of our hearts, all of our minds, all of our soul and all of our strength -- holding nothing back.  Amen

And his kingdom and his righteousness is established now and forever more. Amen

----
Father God, Open our ears to hear the words of your prophets. Although they were spoken to Israel centuries ago, there is still much we can learn from these words. You ask us to be true, and just. Help us to heed Your warnings, and to walk in accordance with Your Word. Help us to not become full of ourselves, but to fill ourselves with You and with Your truth. You are the God of new beginnings. Thank You for Your mercies, which are new every morning. Amen

Today on Meditating the Word, we read Isaiah's parable of the vineyard, a vision of the Lord in the temple, Isaiah reassures King Ahaz, the prophecy of Immanuel is given, and Isaiah's son is a sign of the Assyrian invasion.
This is Day 191. Today we are reading Isaiah Chapters 5-8
----
Father God, truly, as Solomon said, there, is nothing new under the son. We see the same things today that Isaiah spoke of centuries ago... Instead of consulting You and Your Word, people consult mediums and psychics and fortune tellers. Yet, even in all of our failings, You remain faithful and forgiving. You have cast our sins as far away as the East is from the West. Help us, Father, to search Your Word for the answers we need, and to listen to Holy Spirit for direction.  You are merciful and mighty, and we give You all the praise and glory and worship You. Thank you, Father. Amen

Today on Meditating the Word, the Prophet Isaiah speaks about the sinfulness of Judah, the Lord's universal reign, and the Lord's judgement.
This is Day 190. Today we are reading Isaiah Chapters 1-4
----
Father God, in Your faithfulness, You send warnings. In the days of old, You sent prophets to warn the people and to try to get them to turn back to You. You still send us messages today... through Your Word, through people we know, through messages we hear. And with every warning, You also offer a promise, of a better life.  Help us to not turn away, Father, but to listen and to obey. Amen

Today on Meditating the Word, Azariah reigns in Judah, and Israel goes through a number of kings: Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem, Pekahiah and Pekah. After Azariah's death, his son Jotham reigns over Judah.
This is Day 189. Today we are reading 2nd Kings 15 and 2nd Chronicles 26.
----
Father God, we see over and over again how so many kings started out right. They followed your commandments. They brought the people back to worship you in the temple. They did many great works. And then, as so often happens with us, pride entered in. They took counsel from the foolish, or took their own counsel, and forsook Your ways. Help us to remain faithful, Father, as You are faithful. To seek You, and to do what's right. Thank You for Your love, Your mercy and Your guidance. Amen
