DAY THIRTY-THREE (2 Chronicles 7:11 – 23:15)

Sometimes it’s really good to get the perspective of others who haven’t been in the same places we’ve been. (2 Chronicles 10:8)

2 Chronicles 11:1 – I had just had a conversation about a parent struggling with the fact that their child wasn’t getting any playing time on a basketball team at a Christian school.  They felt like it wasn’t “Christian” for every team member to not play.  I noticed here that the BEST soldiers were chosen for the fight.

When you’re taking your grandmother out, your dedication to God is strong! (2 Chronicles 15:16)

2 Chronicles 16:9 – I never realized that this very popular verse was actually part of a rebuke!

2 Chronicles 23:1 – after 6 years of hiding, Jehoiada did something.  Sometimes, we just get tired of hiding.

DAY THIRTY-TWO (1 Chronicles 24 – 2 Chronicles 7:10)

1 Chronicles 28:19 – This is what I desire for The Gathering: a place AND a plan for the place!

The example of leadership cannot be overstated! (1 Chronicles 29:9)

2 Chronicles 3:1 is a beautiful picture of multi-generational ministry.  David prepared the place for the plan, and Solomon executed the plan!

You can’t read Solomon’s prayer in 2 Chronicles 6 and not notice the recurring phrase “and hear us from heaven.”  That’s what we all need!

DAY THIRTY-ONE (1 Chronicles 10 – 23)

1 Chronicles 15:13 shows that David was a leader who was able to learn from the mistakes he made.

God’s presence – and how we respond to it – often divides people, and sometimes people in our own family (1 Chronicles 15:29).  We should be prepared for this!

1 Chronicles 21:13 – even though God’s punishment is unbelievable powerful, it is fueled and governed by His mercy.

1 Chronicles 22:5 – My role is to prepare a new generation to serve God.
