AUGUST 27, 2023

Anchor of Our Lives, Lord of All Creation, What He’s Done, Great is Thy Faithfulness, My Heart is Yours

What was the most precious thing you’ve lost and found again or returned to you?

2 CHRONICLES 16:7-9

(READ CHAPTERS 14-16)

(READ until verse 23 for context)

7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. 8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand. 9 For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.”
