1 Chr 17:16-27

After David received the revelation from Nathan, he went before the Lord to examine his life and his perceived lack of heritage. He wondered why he was chosen to be blessed beyond compare since from him the Savior would be born. He "hit the lottery" and was a man that was chosen by God to lead and to prosper but in his own mind he was nothing special. He simply had to let God be God and have his way with him. Prayer takes courage and faith because to the non-believer, we are simply putting trust and hope in the unseen and unheard. To act on one's prayers takes even greater courage and faith since one has to trust on his actions and that it will be congruent to God's will. Like David, my prayer is that my family beyond my sons, will love and follow the Lord.

Praise for today: There is no one like you, O Lord, and there is no God but you; 1 Chr 17: 20a
