“Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The Lord is righteous.” When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. Nevertheless, they shall be servants to him, that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.””

2 Chronicles 12:6-8 ESV

All,

This stands out because the Lord says, “Nevertheless, they shall be servants to him, that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.” We don’t realize how great it is to serve God until we’ve walked into bondage of worldly things. He warns us constantly of this temptation, but we usually don’t see it until it’s too late. However, God is always waiting like a parent to forgive us when we ask Him. Please pray that we and our friends ask God today to reveal any areas of unconfessed sin and then wait patiently. Thank you for all your prayers for the breakfast!!
