Reflection: 2 Chronicles 7: 13-17
[the Lord speaking], "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place."
- The Lord appeared to Solomon right after he completed God's temple. The Lord spoke these words to Solomon, reminding him that there are times when God's punishment is upon a land. His instruction to Solomon is if the people humble themselves and pray and seek, that He will forgive and heal.
- ?A lot of people are talking about the chaos of our nation.
- Perhaps we need to humble ourselves, pray, and seek Him.
- ?Don't wait for others; be the spark in your family, your neighborhood, your workplace, your church.
- Humple yourself to the reality the we don't have it all figured out.
- God will honor your humility, your prayers, and your pursuit of Him.
??Moleskine:
- ?Really impressed by Vortex showing up wearing the boot. I know it's killing him not to run. Das boot has to be stanky though, right?
- ?I could tell it wasn't as warm today because Abrams only wrung out a pint of water from his shirt instead of the recent normal gallon…still plenty warm.
- Great 2nd F at Cabbella's coffee-teria afterwards. Great to meet Bertha and learn about Pokemon Go! from the 2.0's.
- Awesome to hear about Spark's neighborhood library project being installed this weekend. Can't wait to see it.
- Sound out in the comments for some of the good stuff I've neglected to mention.
It was a real honor to lead you guys today.
