We
read, Lord, about the reign of King Josiah. There was spiritual revival
(2 Chronicles 34:33). Where did this spiritual revival come from? - It
came from You. It came from the rediscovery of Your Word. Where was Your
Word found? - It was found "in the House of the Lord" (2 Chronicles
34:15). Beyond the written Word, there is Jesus Christ, the living Word
of God. When Your Word is preached to us, help us to listen for the
voice of Jesus Christ, the true and living Word of God. Open up our
hearts to Your Word. Open up our hearts to Your Spirit. Let "rivers of
living water" flow out from our hearts to others (John 7:37-39).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
