Hiram and David establish >their friendship early in David's reign (2 Samuel 5:11), and 1 Kings 5:1 >states: "Hiram had always loved David." >It is perhaps David's reputation that prompts Solomon to write in >Proverbs 22:1: "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches." >Each of us must take this Scripture to heart and dedicate ourselves to >the development of a spotless reputation by being fair, just, and >righteous and by being utterly true to our word. > >PRAYER >• Offer praise to the Lord whose reputation we share when we live for >Him: >Ah, Lord God! . . . There is nothing too hard for You. You show >lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into >the bosom of their children after them-the Great, the Mighty God, whose >name is the Lord of hosts. You are great in counsel and mighty in work, >for your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give >everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings >(Jeremiah 32:17-19). > >• Pray this confession to the Lord as you seek to keep your life free >from sin: >Who can understand his errors? >Cleanse me from secret faults. >Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; >Let them not have dominion over me. >Then I shall be blameless, >And I shall be innocent of great transgression (Psalm 19:12-13). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pray >this affirmation to the Lord: >"My thoughts are not your thoughts, >Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. >"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, >So are My ways higher than your ways, >And My thoughts than your thoughts" >(Isaiah 55:8-9). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, include: >• greater faithfulness with your time, >• the president and national leaders, >• your activities for the day. > >• Finally, offer this closing prayer: >Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, >That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
