Daily Scripture Threshing for Monday, May 27, 2024
Today’s Text: 2 Chronicles 1:1-13
Key Verse: 2 Chronicles 1:1 (ESV): "Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great."
Solomon thrived differently in a generation in which it was customary for kings and emperors to thrive and gain expansion through wars and conquests. In each generation, there is always a man or woman who would set an example of extraordinary possibilities. Today's scripture reminds us that success and expansion come not from our strength or military might but from God's presence and favor. Solomon, the son of David, not only experienced this, but he laid down example for us also on what can truly make a man exceedingly great.
When we prioritize our relationship with God, we open ourselves up to His blessings. And, it is when a man is blessed and favored of the Lord that He experiences true greatness and expansion. God's presence gives us wisdom, guidance, and strength, enabling us to achieve far more than we could on our own. Let us learn from Solomon's example and seek God's presence and favor in our lives. May we trust in His goodness and grace, knowing that God is more willing to make us exceedingly great for His glory than we ourselves desire. As you meditate on these things and seek the Lord and His presence, may His presence and favor be with you today and always.
Quote for the Day: "God's presence is the foundation of greatness, and His favor is the fuel for expansion. A life built on His presence, and His favor is a life propelled into exceeding greatness." (Simon Olatunji #quotablequote)
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the example of Solomon, who experienced Your presence and favor. Help us to prioritize our relationship with You, that we too may walk in Your favor and experience success and expansion in our lives. Teach us to be always conscious that it is not by our own strength or might, but by Your Spirit — in Jesus's most glorious name. Amen.
With all my love and prayers,
