Sweeter Than Honey is a 365-day devotional journey that leads the reader
|
“Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord and the king's house. All that Solomon had planned to do in the house of the Lord and in his own house he successfully accomplished. Then the Lord appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time. And as for you, if you will walk before Me as David your father walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping My statutes and My rules, then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, You shall not lack a man to rule Israel. |

When I read God’s Word each morning, I find inspiration and insight that keeps my day on track. Join me on this journey. Let’s settle in with His Word—it’s His Love Letter to us. Did you know that? Let’s read it like a Love Letter, expecting to glean something for our walk with Him every day. Let’s look for peace in the chaos and strength for our weaknesses. Even on our busiest days we can carve out a few minutes to refocus on the important. Can’t we? We may have to get up a little earlier, when the house is still and quiet, or stay up a few minutes after the others are tucked in for the night, but we can do this! I know we can!

Click here to enterPatsy, I've read through the chronological Bible once and enjoyed it very much. It was meaningful to read the Psalms with David's life.
I love reading through the Bible in that order as well, Debbie. But Sweeter Than Honey is different. It takes the reader through God's Word in chronological order of book authorship. I've actually never seen a 365-day devotional that does that, and I am SUPER EXCITED to journey through the book and Scripture with the girls over in the private, Sweeter Than Honey, Facebook group starting in January of next year!!!
Love this series! Today's offering is very thought provoking to consider Solomon's humility and his priorities. I know more often than not, I run into the day with my agenda "first". Working on this, and today's devotional was helpful in giving me food for thought.
Thank you so much, Donna! You will LOVE the book!! Solomon was so wise! We have much to learn from him. I do the agenda thing too—quite often. There are many days when God has to gently remind me that He's in charge, not me.
I find, quite often, Michele that many of the verses I have memorized as a child need to be put back into their context. I love going back to those passages and doing that. Sometimes I find that God meant something totally different than what we think when we take that one little verse out of context.
Great post Patsy! Yes, many people don't realise that the books of the old testament aren't in chronological order. And it's such a revelation when they find out!
You're most welcome to join me in a cuppa at Tea With Jennifer,
Blessings,
Jennifer
