Today’s Bible Reading: 1 Kings 2; 1 Chronicles 29; Psalm 95; 2 Thessalonians 1 (The Message)

Scripture Focus:

1 Chronicles 29:19 And give my son Solomon an uncluttered and focused heart so that he can obey what you command, live by your directions and counsel, and carry through with building The Temple for which I have provided.”

Observation:

In order for Solomon to accomplish what God wanted him to do—obey God, follow God’s direction and counsel, and build the Temple—he needed to not be distracted. He needed an uncluttered and focused heart.

Application:

Besides the more generic obeying God and following God’s direction and counsel, God gives each of us a main task in life which can only be accomplished well if we stay focused and uncluttered in our hearts. I need to know what God has called me to do and stay focused on that calling, despite the distractions all around me.

Prayer:

Father God, my heart and life can get cluttered so easily. Help me to keep it simple today.
