July 8 "Restraints" 2 Kings 15, 2 Chronicles 26

Israel seems like it's on a confusing teeter-totter.
Judah seems stable yet facing real struggles---but nothing like those who will not follow God's will.  One of the commentaries said it is a far different deal looking at the imperfections of man versus the wickeness of those who will not repent.

These hearts of ours are deceitful and need "restraints."  We need the Hand of the Lord this day to restrain us from evil temptations.  Like a city without wall is the one with no restraints.  May we beg God for another chance, another restraint, another healing.

COME BOLDLY:  Timeless Prayers
Father, create in each of us a clean heart.  Renew a right spirit inside of me.  That I may know you and the power of your Resurrection.  A right spirit within.
