For he held fast
         to the LORD...
And the LORD was with him;
wherever he went forth,
                   he prospered.

                       2 Kings 18. 7

(God brings forth a new outcome,
    something radically different,
when we are faithful to Him.
We will never realize
how deeply God uses us.)

And he did what was right

     in the eyes of the LORD.

                  2 Kings 15. 34

(What do I choose

   in what I face today?

My way or the High way?

One act of faithfulness

  engraves the way for the next,

for more than can be counted.

If we only knew

       the impact of what is right,

faithful to God,

gracious to others,

we would never even hesitate

to follow Him into it.)

And he said,

   "The LORD'S arrow of victory..."

 

                   2 Kings 13. 17

(What am I following

into this tough situation

or impossible relationship?

Follow God through it.

He will reveal Himself to you.

God's direction

    always points to Him.

His victory even in this,

even in you,

profoundly impacts others.

God's victory

 is never the end of the story.)

...that they should be

    the LORD's people.

                   2 Kings 11. 17

(Evident in all we do and say

     today in whatever we face,

wherever God places us,

even in our attitudes,

     glorifying to You, O LIRD.

May we be mindful

   of who we are

and Whose we are.)

So he prepared for them

         a great feast.

                    2 Kings 6. 23

(Kindness is

  a powerful force.

Take them by surprise.)

But about midnight 

Paul and Silas were praying 

and singing hymns to God,

and the prisoners 

were listening to them...

                  Acts 16. 25

(How you respond in crisis

depends on what you do

on the most ordinary of days.

Someone is always 

watching you to see

               if God is real.)

Then Elisha prayed and said,

"O LORD, I pray to You,

open his eyes

     that he may see."

So the LORD opened 

the eyes of the young man,

and he saw;

and behold,

the mountain was full

of horses and chariots of Fire

round about Elisha.

              2 Kings 6. 17

(Open our eyes, O LORD,

to the reality of Your Presence.

We are surrounded!

How differently would we live

if we realized God's hand

  in this impossible situation.)
