From Bill— The Great Reset? Have you heard of it? I am not going to spend much time trying to discern or explain what it fully means. But one aspect for sure we will look at today. When everything is stripped away, we focus on our only hope – our God. When reading about the Israelites in Kings and Chronicles we see so many examples of bad behavior and misplaced focus. Of course this is true of us also. But when they were good, they were GOOD. it’s like the only thing they cared about was the Tabernacle, the Temple, and the presence of the Lord. The stories of David dancing, Solomon dedicating the temple, Hezekiah leading the people in worship, Josiah doing a massive Passover, Ezra reading the whole law while the people stood and listened, etc. As I was lamenting certain unanswered prayer, the Lord spoke to my heart and asked “if it means so much to you why did you not fast and agonize over this?” A fair question, isn’t it? How much does God really mean to us? How important is He in our everyday lives? I know I have much to improve. —As do we all! Love Mel
