My Hero: Jehoshaphat

Christine — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:56:59 +0000

Jehoshaphat is one of my Bible heroes. When he was faced with a vast army that was coming to attack Judah, he was overwhelmed and alarmed. He immediately went to the Lord in prayer and called the people of Judah to pray and fast.

Jehoshaphat’s prayer spoke of God’s faithfulness and power in past times of need and the promise that God would save them when they cried out to Him. Remembering your victories of the past, can be a powerful prayer when you are praying for faith for the future. My favorite part of Jehoshaphat’s prayer is when he said “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.” God miraculously saved them from disaster. Read 2 Chronicles 20:1-29. It is powerful and encouraging.

When you don’t know what to do, remember what God has already done for you and keep your eyes on Him. He will fight the battle for you.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 God’s Promise — Even in Captivity!

Christine — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:27:37 +0000

“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:11-13

It is interesting to realize that when God’s people, the Israelites, were in exile in Babylon for their rebellion and sin, he encouraged them! Verses 11-13 confirm this when he said he had plans for them; plans to prosper them and not to harm them! And the same verses apply to us.

God is a good and gracious God. The consequence for their sin was captivity in Babylon, but God did not abandon them. He will not abandon us either. These scriptures tell me that when I have “messed” up and made mistakes, the place to go is to the throne of grace. God forgives and restores. My favorite part is in verses 12 and 13 where he says that when you call on me, I will listen and if you seek me with all your heart, you will find me.

If God promised that to his rebellious children in exile, then He will do the same thing for you. This is a beautiful promise to those who know and love Him. He knew we would make mistakes, but he graciously and willingly forgives and is willing to restore us through His son Jesus Christ.

Seek Him with all of your heart, (that means sincerely), and you will find Him. He loves you and is waiting on you to come to Him.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Okay, first of all this video is not from GodTube, and I can’t find it there.

Someone looking at YouTube left a comment on a copy of my video “WIngs of the Morning”, which is found there as well as at GodTube and on Everyday Christianity. That led me to this video and I was so impressed with it that I decided to make an exception–admittedly a small one–to include it in this “Spotlight on GodTube” section.
