Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 23. In our text today we see Young Joash becoming King and reestablishing worship at the temple to follow in the vision of King David...to honor the Lord. In making application we see the Easter Celebration taking place in our lives yesterday and for many Christians a reconnection with God's Church. Just as Joash experienced with the nation of God - there are many things we allow in our lives that can hinder our relationship and worship. For some the hindrances are entertainment and functions, others it is work, some slothfulness, the list goes on and on. The bottom line is that we allow things to hinder us from Church attendance and Worship we see our lives become weak. How about you? Do you allow things to distract you from the nourishment attained though worship at the House of God? Let us learn from our text today and the life of Joash to remember to not let anything hinder us from Worshiping and attending the House of God.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 22. In our text today we see Ahaziah ruling Judah before passing on to Athaliah. What catches my eye is how Ahaziah sought advice from wicked men which led to his destruction and death. In making application we see the problem from listing to ungodly council. It leads down a path away from God instead of leading us to God. Today the book stores are full of self-help books that will also lead us down lifes wrong paths. It is always wise to follow the instruction book of the one who made you and loves you, the Bible. When we follow God's instructions we are lead to a path that is the best for us. How about you? Do you follow the instructions of your maker? Let us learn from our text today and the life of Ahaziah to remember to follow the Lord's instructions verses following the wrong paths of others.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 21. In our text today we see Jehoshaphat passing away and Jehoram ruling Judah. Now Jehoram rules Judah and allows sin to rule his life. As a result he died a slow and painful death. In making application we see the principle of our sin finding us out. There is pleasure in sin for a season but there will be a payday someday. This should motivate us to reach out to the lost with the Gospel while there is time to repent before it is eternally to late. Today it is not politically correct to speak out on public sinful issues but the Lord has instructed us to warn the lost. How about you? Does your knowledge of sinners spending eternity in Hell for eternity motivate you to speak out on public sin? Let us learn from out text today to let everyone know that when it comes to sin - there will be a payday someday.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 20. In our text today we see Jehoshaphat defeats Moab and Ammon. What catches my eye is how the Lord spoke through Jahaziel in verse 15 to "Be not Afraid...for the battle is not yours, but God's". In making application we see that battles we face everyday are also the Lord's. We tend to forget, that as Christians, we have Christ living in us and try to fight the enemy in our flesh. As we mature as Christians we need to understand to let the Lord fight our battles by praying and giving control to HIM. How about you? Do you attempt to fight the enemy in your flesh? Let us learn from our text today and the instruction of Jahaziel to remember the battle is the Lord's and not ours - so let the Lord fight our battles.

Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 19. In our text today we see Jehoshaphat being rebuked by Jehu and his appointment of Judges. In his choosing leaders he gave them specific advice of seeking the Lord, being

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 18. In our text today we see Jehoshaphat joins forces with Ahab as he arranged his son to marry Ahab's daughter. Jehosaphet thought he could control the situation but this alliance proved costly as he encountered the wrath of God, lost his grandson, and the evil practices of Israel came to Judah. In making application we see that we can't allow evil in our lives. If we do we can expect the same results of God's judgement, personal loss, and an evil effect on those you love. It reminds me of my youth and life in high school. The popular people were the "bad kids" and in making a few of them my friends I found myself having a bad influence rubbing off on me. I felt a distance from my Lord and I was placed in situations that could have harmed me. It taught me that I could not run with the wrong crowd. How about you? Do you see that you can not associate with evil without it effecting your life? Let us learn from out text today and the life of Jehosaphet to remember that we cannot allow evil in our lives.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 16. In our text today we see Asa forget the Lord when faced with another battle. When the Lord sent a messenger to Asa he even through him in jail. Asa forgetting the Lord even affected him when seeking help for his ailing health which resulted in an early death. In making application we see that we too can forget God. We can easily forget what the Lord has done for us. The danger in this is that we will look toward man instead of the Lord when we face battles in our lives. The Lord gave his people feasts to remember the past victories, he told them to make memorials to remember what God has done, and we too need to remember what the Lord has done in any way possible. I have seen some have a spiritual birthday party to remember the day they were saved, keeping a journal, making a memorial around the home, etc... How about you? Do you forget what the Lord has done for you? Let us learn from our text today and the life of Asa to not forget what the Lord has done in your life.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 12. In our text today we see Egypt conquering Jerusalem as Rehoboam turned his back on God's instruction and Egypt took control of capitol of the nation of God. In making application we see a picture in our text today. Egypt is a picture of the World, Jerusalem is picture of the Heart, and if we do as Rehoboam did and turn our back on the Word of God - then we see the picture of our text today: The World will capture your heart that will lead you to a path of destruction. Our Chapter ends in the Death of Rehoboam and we see the pattern of destruction which ends in death. How about you? Do you see the picture of our text today as a pattern of destruction? Let us learn from out text today to hold fast to the Instruction of God's Word, lest we too have our hearts go the way of the World, which will direct us into sin, and ultimately our destruction and death.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 11. In our text today we see Israel and Judah are now 2 divided kingdoms. What catches my eye is how the Lord allowed the split of His chosen nation. Instead of removing Rehoboam as the driving force between the split the Lord allowed the hearts of the nation to be exposed. In the days to come we see a constant battle between worshiping pagan gods and the one true God. In making application we see a glimpse into why God may allow many divisions in families, Churches, and even nations today. To Expose Our Sinful Hearts. At the base of any division is a heart that is far from God. Until that heart is exposed it cannot come to a place of repentance. God does not force His Will on any of us, He has made a way for us to have our sins forgiven through Jesus-Christ but we must receive this free gift. It is a loving God that allows this to unfold. It is not His will that any of us should perish but all to come to repentance. How about you? Have you been involved in a division between you and others? Let us learn from our text today to see the Lord allows division in our lives to to expose the hearts involved so all can come to repentance.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd Chronicles Chapter 10. In our text today we see the nation of Israel split apart as Rehoboam speaks roughly to the people and the northern tribes revolt. What catches my eye is the Greed of Rehoboam. He inherited the richest, most powerful kingdom in the world but still pressed the people to a point of division. In his quest for more he lost it all. In making application we see the principle of Greed play out in our lives. In the U.S. the poorest person is rich in many countries having food, water, shelter, and healthcare. The middle class and the rich have more than enough to sustain themselves but for the "toys" of this world they sacrifice their families and relationships for the sake of Greed. In wanting it all many loose it all. Many divorces and family breakups have the root of Greed at the base of this tragedy. Like Rehoboam we really have it all, so lets not let Greed have a place in our lives which will ultimately destroy what is really important in our lives. How about you? Do you see the enticement of Greed in you life? Let us learn from our text today and the life of Rehoboam to remember that Greed separates us from what is really important in our lives.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd. Chronicles chapter 9. In our text today we see the visit of the Queen of Sheba, the greatness of Solomon's life, to finally Solomon's death. What catches my eye is how others, like the Queen of Sheba, noticed the Lord working through Solomon. The evidence of a fruitful and faithful life are the blessings of wealth and wisdom in his life. In making application we see that when we serve the Lord others will see the Lord in our lives. This is so important when it comes to witnessing to others and soul winning. The lost are looking for something real in others lives and when they see the Lord in us they understand that the Lord is real. How about you? Do others see the Lord in you life? Let us learn from our text today and the life of Solomon to be reminded to let the Lord love be reflected in our lives.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd. Chronicles chapter 8. In our text today we see how Solomon had followed the creation of the Temple to the letter of the law. When is came to his own life and the selection of his wives he went totally in contradiction to God's instruction choosing wives that had false Gods. In making application we see that we are to follow the instruction for our personal lives just as we do for our lives in public. The Bible is full of instruction for who to marry, how to handle your finances, and relationships with family, friends, and even enemies. The Bible is more that just a Historical book but also a book on Life's Instructions and what choices to make. How about You? Do you follow the Lord's instructions for Marriage and every aspect of your life? Let us learn from Solomon's good choices as well as his mistakes to be reminded that the Bible is our instruction book for life's choices.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of 2nd. Chronicles chapter 7. In our text today we see the Glory of God filling the temple as fire comes down and consumes the sacrifice. We also see God speaking to Solomon telling him he heard his prayer and gives us a precept for prayer in verse 14 that if we humble ourselves, pray, seek Him, and repent, then will God hear our prayers and heal our land. In making application we see the word that has left many of our Churches, Repentance. We must turn from our sin for the Lord to hear us. It is essential for our Prayers being answered and our Salvation. How about you? Have you Repented of your sin to have your Prayers heard and ultimately answered? Let us learn from our text today as God gives us examples of His Glory and How our Prayers will be heard and Answered through our Repentance.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we start the book of 2nd. Chronicles chapter 1. In our text today we see the reign of Solomon as he asks God for Wisdom. What catches my eye is the request of Solomon. He could of requested anything but he acknowledged God as the source of all information asking Him for His Wisdom. It reminds me of:

^{James 1:5}If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

In making application we see that we can ask God for wisdom. If we ask we have God's Word that he will give us direction and guidance from His Word. How about you? Do you ask God for wisdom? Let us learn from our text today and the life of Solomon to ask God for Wisdom.
