Tues. 1 Kings 22: 29-40 : In this Bible passage the king dies and everything he worked for and accomplishes dies with him. I am tempted to think that I can hide from good when I do something that I am ashamed of. What I sometime fail to realize is that I cannot hide from God. No one can hide from God. He sees and knows everything. When I do something that I am ashamed of I should just be honest with God even though he already knows anything that I could possibly hide from him. God truly loves for us to be honest with him. The king in the Bible passage should not have tried to hide that he was going into battle. In the long run it resulted in his death. In conclusion, I truly believe honesty is indeed the best policy!
Wed. 2 Kings 2: 1-12 : In this Bible passage Elijah is taken up into heaven and Elisha inherits a double portion of his spirit.When I make up a commitment I try my best to carry it out. It usually depends on what the commitment is. If the commitment is serious I do my best to follow through. In this Bible passage Elijah kept his promise. I would love to be a women of my word. I believe I should try harder to follow though on my commitments. Commitments are very important and should be taken very seriously no matter how big or small!
Thurs. 2 Kings 2: 13-25: In this Bible passage God allows Elisha heals the water, meaning he makes it pure and clean. Elisha also curses a few boys for insulting him. Someone else might know that I have a deep respect for God by the way I present myself. If I dress modestly, show respect to others, be kind, witness to others etc., people will know by my actions that I have a deep respect for God. It is very important to always present yourself in the best manner because, not only are you representing yourself and your family, but your representing God. I believe everyone should have a deep respect for God being that he is the loving creator of this entire universe. In conclusion, I try to show more respect for God by doing a few of the things that I listed!
Fri. 2 Kings 5: 1-27: In this Bible passage a man comes to Elisha to be healed of leprosy although he does not have faith that God can heal him by just washing him in the Jordan seven times. In the end of this Bible passage the man in his descendants are cursed with leprosy forever. One of the small things that I refuse to do for God is witness. Many people don't realize it,but I am very shy! It is very hard for me to go out in public and talk to random people. I need to let go and let God and not have a spirit of fear. I believe that through God, I have the ability to bring numerous people to Christ! I need to get over my shyness and go out and witness. To conclude, I will try to stop refusing to do small things for God and just give him my complete all.
