SPIRITUAL DIARY
My Worship Time Focus:
The
discerning prophet
Bible Reading
& Meditation Reference: 1Kings 14:4-6
Message of the verses: “4
Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the
house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his
age. 5 Now the LORD had said to Ahijah,
"Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her
son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when
she arrives that she will pretend to be another woman." 6 When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet
coming in the doorway, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why do you
pretend to be another woman? For I am sent to you with a harsh message.”
“The
LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.”
(Psalm 25:14 NIV)
“Surely
the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the
prophets.” (Amos 3:7 (NKJV)
Jeroboam
sends his wife to see the prophet who told him that he would be king, and this
must have been a long time ago, for now the prophet is very old and cannot
see. However there is nothing wrong with
his spiritual ears, for the Lord spoke to him telling him that she was coming
and why she was coming and also that He was the one who sent her to see Ahijah.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: There are times when I do something that I am
not sure why I am doing it and it turns out fine and then I realize that the
Lord has been the One guiding me.
However the Proverbs tells me that I am to do the following: “5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. 6 In all thy ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)
Perhaps
if Jeroboam would have prayed about what he was to do the Lord would have told
him and he would not have had to send his wife to hear the bad news from
Ahijah.
My Steps of
Faith for Today:
1.
I want to trust the Lord to guide my path this day.
2.
I have a desire to continue to learn contentment.
3.
I give myself to the Lord for worship and service
this day.
4.
I must remember that I am in a battle and in need of
the spiritual armor.
