Through the Bible: 2 Chronicles

DAY 1 OF 10

Above All

Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?
2 Chronicles 1:10 (NIV)
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 
Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. 
Psalm 32:8 (NIV)

Imagine being led to a room filled with locked drawers of precious treasures on countless shelves waiting to be opened. You are given bunches of keys to each of these but there is one problem; it’s pitch dark. Going through the valley of decisions in life can be a similar experience. There will be times we are confronted with many conflicting thoughts and reasoning. We truly need wisdom. The Bible reminds us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. In 2 Chronicles 1, King Solomon acknowledged God's sovereignty, His wisdom, goodness and encompassing greatness. He understood the divine stewardship that the Lord had placed upon him and desired God's wisdom and guidance above all. Because His heart was to seek God first, He was not only granted astounding wisdom marveled by many but was also blessed with the abundance of goodness and favor from God. He knew above all, the Lord’s light, wisdom and presence surpasses all the glitters of this world.

Prayer

Loving Father, thank You for Your heart for us, that all wisdom and truth originate from You. Today, we come in humility seeking Your wisdom and Your presence in our life above everything else, that Your Kingdom’s treasures through Jesus may be encountered by the many around us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

About this Plan

Through the Bible: 2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles is clearly more focused on the history of Judah than with the northern kingdom of Israel. The author covers Solomon’s enthronement, the temple construction and the gradual demise of Judah. The book, however, ends with the Lord's desire to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. Amidst the setbacks faced by post-exilic Jews, the author aimed to invigorate the people to rebuild the temple and resettle in the Holy Land.
