The people rebel and the nation divides. >The northern part of the kingdom (Israel) follows after Jeroboam while >Rehoboam retains control over the southern part (Judah). Neither man >leads the nation in righteousness, and the disintegration that began >with Solomon continues. Sin is taking its toll. It always does. > >PRAYER >• Praise the Lord that when we confess our sin, He removes the eternal >penalty: >O Lord God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are >God, >You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. >You have made heaven and earth >(2 Kings 19:15). >Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below >like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk >before You with all their hearts (1 Kings 8:23). > >• Pause for personal praise and pray this confession to the Lord as you >seek to keep your life free from sin: >O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, >Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure. >Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; >O Lord heal me, for my bones are troubled. >My soul also is greatly troubled >(Psalm 6:1-3). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pray >this affirmation to the Lord: >Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord >Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace >in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans >5:1-2). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, include: >• greater faithfulness with your talents, >• your state and local leaders, >• whatever else is on your heart. > >• Offer this closing prayer to the Lord: >May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that >you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). > > >Quiet Walk is published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, Inc. in >Atlanta, GA.
