Lord,
we look at Solomon – and we see ourselves. There is strength (2
Chronicles 8:16) – and there is weakness (2 Chronicles 8:11; 2
Chronicles 9:12). We want to love You more, but the world keeps on
pulling us back – away from you and into sin. We come to You, Lord. We
come in our weakness. We ask for Your strength. May our comfort and
convenience never become more important to us than our consecration and
commitment to You.
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."
