Scripture

1 Kinge 16:29-22:53(EBST*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

Are you prepared for battle? Are you prepared to fight for what you believe? My Word is everlasting. The battle is Mine.

What I said to God

I think I am prepared. When I read about the lives of others, it is often easy to see their mistakes and judge them for the choices they have made. Yet, when I put more thought into it, I realize that they did not have all the information about their situation that I have as I am looking back on it. How much easier it seems to make “right” choices for others than it is to make right choices for myself! Prepare me to make the tough choices and the right choices for You.
