Lord,
we can, so often, get preoccupied with the things that matter most to
us - and we forget about the things that matter most to You. We start to
get comfortable, sorting things out to suit ourselves - and then You
come to us with a very challenging question, "What matters most to you?"
Help us, Lord, to see that pleasing You is more important than pleasing
ourselves.
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
