Read To Me Daily Semester 3

DAY 30 OF 82

2KINGS 21-22:
The Assyrian king mocked the God of Israel at the end of 2nd Kings chapter 18. We heard God's answer yesterday in chapter 19, and we were introduced to the prophet Isaiah. Hezekiah asked to live for a longer time, and his request was granted. I have heard that there is actually scientific proof of the long day miracle that was given to Hezekiah. What a shame that he did not ask God to NOT send his sons to Babylon!

PSALM 133:
The Psalm of Ascent which we read today, Psalm 133, comes at a very fitting time in relation to our readings yesterday and today in John. If we are one with Jesus, then we are one with one another.

Re-reading JOHN 15:
Let’s enjoy reading the wonderful 15th chapter of John again today. Take time to meditate more deeply about our vital relationship of oneness with Jesus. We shouldn’t take any credit for choosing to follow Jesus! Before we chose Him, He had already chosen us. If you are one who has difficulty believing that there is anything good about you, let your identity and worth be based on this passage! Here also we find the promise repeated about answering our prayers when we pray for the sake of Jesus’ name— which is to say, for his cause or for his glory. Note that this is not just ‘dropping or using Jesus’ name’. God realizes when we are praying selfish prayers, and He is not fooled by our tacking on ‘in Jesus name’ at the end.

Let’s pray.
Lord Jesus, it would be enough to be your servants. Now You have called us your friends. Thank You for the wonderful words, “I chose you.” Thank You for choosing us, Lord. That is why we want to remain joined to You and one with You. Let the life of the vine flow to us, and help us to be fruitful for You. Lord, we can’t do anything without You except wither. We give ourselves to be pruned by the Father. Help us that every painful test will make us more fruitful. We promise to obey your commands, and especially the one You emphasized here— to love one another. Lord, while remaining joined to You, we also want to hold tightly to your words. Let your words remain in us and let them transform our thoughts, and what we ask You for when we pray. Everything that we have just asked You for, and will ask You for now, is based on our desire that You be glorified.
