"The Found Book"
Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us. 2 Kings 22:13
Some weeks ago in the Daily Devotions I talked about how I lost a cross that had been given to me. No, it hasn't been found.
I just wanted to let you know I'm not the only person who loses things. According to a story carried last week by the BBC, plans for New York's Freedom Tower, the building designed to replace the World Trade Center, were recently found in one of the city's rubbish bins. The plans were clearly labeled: "Secure Document-Confidential"; they were found by a homeless man.
Steve Yang, an architect who spoke to the New York Post, said the plans would have been helpful for a terrorist planning an attack. No, I'm not the only person who loses things.
Centuries ago, God's people also lost some important plans. In a time of Godlessness, somehow, someway, the book of the Lord's law was misplaced. It was only when King Josiah was trying to restore and rebuild the people's relationship with God that the document was found. When the Word of God was read, the king was both pleased and distraught. He was pleased because God's commandments and promises had come home. He was distraught because he realized how far the Lord's people had wandered.
As we look at this sinful world, most of us find ourselves concluding humanity has managed to lose a great many things. Reverence for the Lord, reliance upon His Word, respect for the Savior's sacrifice, regard for each other-have all been misplaced. As Christians, we, like Josiah, ought to pray for a restoration of these qualities that should always be precious and dear to the Lord's people.
As Christians, it is our duty, responsibility, and opportunity to go to the Lord and ask Him to be merciful and bring us back to His pasture, His protection, and His Fatherly preservation. We need to plead with the Spirit to make sure we will never lose sight of the Savior's sacrifice, which alone can save us in this world and the next.
THE PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, help me remember those things that are most important. Let me look to You for grace and compassion; to the Savior for redemption, and the Holy Spirit for a sanctified life. May I never lose these things, which ought always be of the highest importance. In Your Name. Amen.
Do you know I've just gotten 4 frogs? HAhahaha..
Cool and eeky.
One of them escape today. I was searched the toilet immediately. There was nothing. Then I look at the kitchen then the drying area. And i thought I'm going to die searching for this small frog in such a messy place. Well..then God spoke. Pray.
One word. Haha...I remember Jonathan's Cobra on the loose story. So I prayed! And yes. As expected, God reviewed the frog immediately. Behind the washing machine.
Got Dad to help and the frog was caught in no time. AND AND! The underside of the washing machine is so cool....if the frog hid there, it'll probably die there without me knowing. Haha...God is Great!
I wish I wish I wish my parents and my friends will get to know Jesus. Cos. God is real. He is good and loving. At the same time, God is holy and there is judgement for all who do not turn from they ways and seek God. So..... I wish I wish I wish and I really wish.
Time to start praying for my Classmate's Salvation!
Open your eyes and see!
2008 years ago!
An real and recorded historical event!
A man named Jesus Christ, Claimed to be God. Lived a blameless life. Died on the cross. Fulfiled all predictions maded centuries before His birth. Rose again from the dead. Affirm that He really is God and concluded God's love plan of Salvation and Redemption for all of mankind.
Snoring time!
Wahahahaha....I really love my classmates....got to learn to love them more than myself. Heeheehee...Ian said that I'm a narcissist....wahahahaha...
Ohoh! Shared the Gospel in School today. It was great.. Full gospel shared...but that Guy unfortunately still wasn't saved. Relativism (what you believe is real and what you don't believe is not real) is a real big issue. Well...pray that he'll see that what you don't believe will not cause what is real to become unreal one day.
Ate with fellow workers in Christ. Joked shared about our lives ..and ya...great fellowship.
Thank God for faithful Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
