Lord,
You're calling us to make our choice - What kind of life will we live?
Will it be "He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the
Lord" (2 Chronicles 12:14)? or Will it be "As for us, the Lord is our
God and we have not forsaken Him" (2 Chronicles 13:10)? When, Lord,
unbelief and disobedience are threatening to take over our lives, help
us to hear Your Word of warning: "Do not fight against the Lord ... you
will not succeed" - and help us to speak the words of faith: "God is
with us; He is our Leader" (2 Chronicles 13:12).
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).
