Preparation: A Study in 1 Chroniclesનમૂનો

What does it say?

The Lord gave David victory over his enemies. David reigned over Israel, administering justice among the people.

What does it mean?

God’s divine care of Israel led to conquests over their enemies. As the Lord gave victory, He established Israel’s strength among the surrounding nations. Treasure brought by the subjected kingdoms was set apart for Solomon to use in construction of God’s temple, and military outposts were established to protect the nation outwardly. David’s appointment of officials and royal advisors kept the infrastructure strong. As a result of God’s care, King David was able to reign over Israel, doing what was just and right for all the people.

In what area of discipline or obedience do you need victory?

Remember, it is the Lord who establishes you and gives wisdom to do what is right and just. How have you recognized His care in your life this week?
