Day 213
1 Chronicles 11:1-12:22; Romans 14:19-15:13; Psalm 89:46-52
1 Chronicles 11 speaks of “David’s mighty men” (1 Chronicles 11:11).
The focus is not, however, on either David or the “mighty men.”
It is on the Lord – “The Lord brought about a great victory” (1 Chronicles 11:14).
In their warfare, “the Spirit” brings this message – “… your God will help you” (1 Chronicles 12:18).
What are we to say about these things from the Old Testament Scriptures?
They were “written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” (Romans 15:4).
As we consider what God has done in the past – His “former great love”, we are encouraged to believe in His “faithfulness”, and we say, from our hearts, “Praise be to the Lord for ever!
Amen and Amen” (Psalm 89:52).
Day 214
1 Chronicles 12:23-14:17; Romans 15:14-33; Psalm 90:1-10
God’s purpose concerns all the nations – “The Lord made all the nations fear David” (1 Chronicles 14:17).
Paul was “a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles” (Romans 15:16).
God’s purpose concerns all generations – “Lord, You have been our dwelling-place throughout all generations” (Psalm 90:1).
Day 215
1 Chronicles 15:1-16:36; Romans 16:1-27; Psalm 90:11-17
In a book full of so many names, David’s psalm of thanksgiving (1 Chronicles 16) stands out.
It is a high-point in the midst of the commonplace.
The commonplace is not insignificant in God’s purpose.
It is the backcloth against which God gives to us His special high-points.
In the commonplace, we long for the deeper experience of worship.
From the deeper experience of worship, we return to the commonplace with renewed vigour.
Romans 16 is a chapter of the many names, the names of men and women who are precious to the Lord and valued by the Lord’s people.
As we think of many names, we are to pray, “May Your deeds be shown to Your servants, Your splendour to their children” (Psalm 90:16).
Day 216
1 Chronicles 16:37-18:17; 1 Corinthians 1:1-17; Proverbs 19:3-12
“The Lord gave David victory everywhere he went” (1 Chronicles 18:6,13).
“He will keep you strong to the end … ” (1 Corinthians 1:8).
How do we grow strong in the Lord?
How do we walk with Him in the way of victory?
– We are strong in the Lord, walking in His victory, when we “get wisdom and “cherish understanding” (Proverbs 19:8).
The wisdom of God is different from “human wisdom.”
The wisdom of God is focused on and derived from “the Cross of Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:17).
Day 217
1 Chronicles 19:1-22:1; 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5; Psalm 91:1-8
David – “Let me fall into the hands of the Lord, for His mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men” (1 Chronicles 20:13).
Paul – “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong” (1 Corinthians 1:27).
What a contrast there is between man and God! How important it is that “our faith might not rest on man’s wisdom, but on God’s power” (1 Corinthians 2:5).
“He will save you from the fowler’s snare” (Psalm 91:3).
Our hope is not in man.
It is in the Lord: “He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God, in whom I trust” (Psalm 91:2).
Day 218
1 Chronicles 22:2-23:32; 1 Corinthians 2:6-16; Psalm 91:9-16
The Temple was to be “built for the Name of the Lord”, “to praise the Lord” (1 Chronicles 22:19; 23:5).
In the context of such worship – “thanking and praising the Lord” (1 Chronicles 23:30), the Word of God would be spoken “not in words taught by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:13).
Together with praise and preaching, there would be prayer: “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him” (Psalm 91:15).
Day 219
1 Chronicles 24:1-26:19; 1 Corinthians 3:1-23; Psalm 92:1-15
Every believer has a part in the work of God.
This comes through in the lists of names in 1 Chronicles 24-26.
This is also taught in 1 Corinthians 3:6 which goes on to emphasize that the real work is not done by men but by the Lord.
Man is not to be exalted – only the Lord: “You, O Lord, are exalted for ever” (Psalm 92:8).
Day 220
1 Chronicles 26:20-27:34; 1 Corinthians 4:1-21; Proverbs 19:13-22
The people of Israel had to do battle against their enemies.
We also must wage war for God.
Paul describes the hardships involved in true discipleship (1 Corinthians 4:9-12).
In all of this, our intention must be to do the will of the Lord – “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21).
Day 221
1 Chronicles 28:1-29:30; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; Psalm 93:1-5
Our “boasting is not good” (1 Corinthians 5:6).
It is better for us to boast in the Lord – “Praise be to You, O Lord ….
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power … Now, our God, we give You thanks, and praise Your glorious Name … Everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your hand ….
O Lord our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building You a Temple for your Holy Name, it comes from Your hand, and all of it belongs to You” (1 Chronicles 29:10-16).
“The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robes in majesty and is armed with strength …. the Lord on high is mighty” (Psalm 93:1,4).
Day 222
2 Chronicles 1:1-17; 1 Corinthians 6:1-20; Psalm 94:1-11
We are to place value on the most important things.
God places the highest value on our salvation (1 Corinthians 6:19).
Those who share God’s values will ask for “wisdom and knowledge” (2 Chronicles 1:10), and “not … for wealth, riches or honour …. ” (2 Chronicles 1:11).
We are to think the thoughts of God, and not “the thoughts of man” which are “futile” (Psalm 94:11).
Day 223
Ecclesiastes 1:1-3:22; 1 Corinthians 7:1-16; Psalm 94:12-23
“I know that everything God does will endure for ever” (Ecclesiastes 3:14).
In the constant flux of life in this world, here we have something which must never be forgotten.
There are many circumstances in life which are confusing – “How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband?
Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?” (1 Corinthians 7:16).
In the face of life’s confusing circumstances, there will be times when we will say, “My foot is slipping.”
In times like these, we must learn to say, “Your love, O Lord, supported me” (Psalm 94:18).
Day 224
Ecclesiastes 4:1-6:12; 1 Corinthians 7:17-35; Proverbs 19:23-20:4
“Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income” (Ecclesiastes 5:10).
This is the world’s way.
The Lord’s way is a better way.
We are to “use the things of the world” without being “engrossed in them” (1 Corinthians 7:31).
What we must remember is this: “The fear of the Lord leads to life; Then one rests content, untouched by trouble” (Proverbs 19:23).
When our relationship with the Lord is the most important thing in life, we do not get unduly anxious about how things are going, in terms of material prosperity.
Day 225
Ecclesiastes 7:1-9:12; 1 Corinthians 7:36-8:13; Psalm 95:1-11
“Do not be over-righteous, neither be overwise” (Ecclesiastes 7:16).
This is not a protest against wisdom and righteousness.
It is telling us that, in our wisdom and righteousness, we must not become proud like the Pharisees.
“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up” (1 Corinthians 8:1).
Without love, everything else is nothing.
We must never forget this.
“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Psalm 95:7-8).
Where our wisdom (or knowledge) and righteousness become centred on ourselves – ‘How wise and righteous I have become’, we have closed our hearts to God.
Listen to God.
Learn from Him. Live for Him.
