One of my favorite verses “But if you are content to be simply yourself, you will become more of yourself.” This is something I have struggled with especially the last few years but through God’s Grace it’s something I am overcoming!

I liked this verse 9”For if you return to the Lord, your brothers and your children will find compassion with their captors and return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.”
The Lord heard and healed
They hadn’t seen joy like this since Solomon
Hezekiah sought God with all his heart and he prospered.
The widow did not loose heart.
I think both of these readings were about praising God and the fruit that comes from obeying him. -
For some of the priests, their entire responsibility was to stand at the gate and sing praise and thanksgiving to God. Would we also recognize this as our divine privilege, as recipients of a full gospel of grace we have much more even to be singing of in gratefulness and awe of our Lord.

27But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

This is the first time I have posted. I am amazed that The Parable of the Persistent Widow was part of today’s reading. Somebody mentioned it to me just last night as well. I have been feeling a lack of justice recently. I was involved in a car accident a couple of years ago, and the other person did not tell the truth about what happened because there were no other witnesses. At the court hearing last week I was deemed liable as a result of the untrue story and it has been eating me up. I was so upset & angry that this person was claiming insurance money dishonestly. I could see myself in the Widow, and now understand that I must continue to pray regarding this. I wish to forgive the other person but it’s so hard when your anger is still so raw. I know I can let go of this issue and leave it to God now.

I’m so sorry you are going through what you’re going through, I know that sick feeling intimately. When my husband left me and our infant son for another woman I was so angry that he was getting away free and happy as a clam in his sin while I was enduring hardship and raising our child on my own. I craved justice for those who had wronged me (some great Psalms on that) but after 5 years have come to a place where I can see the bigger God picture of His justice and His grace for all and how I need to extend that same grace and leave the judgement up to God. Praying for you Natalie!

Hezekiah did good throughout Judah. He sought God in every work, with all his heart and he prospered. This is important. I must have a spirit of excellence in everything that I do. In probation. Phillippa Reymonde. But I must also seek Him first. Then I will proposer.
Luke 18 (vs 1) my relationship with God is important. I have to always be in communion. With him and not lose heart. He will hear me. But I need to have a child likeness when it comes to receiving the kingdom. Not proud but humble and responsive to Jesus. Seeking Him out humbly.
The blind man received his sight well. He has faith that Jesus could heal him. In all things Jesus can make it possible. I need to seek Him.
*MORALE* I can’t get complacent. Everything I am doing I am doing for the Lord so I must do it with a Spirit of excellence.

I am here in October 2017 reading August. I started about a month late and have fallen behind too but I’m going to keep pressing on until I finish the plan!
