1 Kings 12:26 -28, 32

Today’s Scripture: 1 Kings 12:26 -28, 32 The Message – But then Jeroboam thought, “It won’t be long before the kingdom is reunited under David. As soon as these people resume worship at The Temple of God in Jerusalem.” So the king came up with a plan: He made two golden calves. Then he announced, “It’s too much trouble for you to go to Jerusalem to worship. Look at these—the gods who brought you out of Egypt!” To top it off, he created a holy New Year festival to be held on the fifteenth day of the eighth month to replace the one in Judah, complete with worship.
Today’s Word: Fear
Today’s Prayer: Dear God, thank you for this great example of what fear can do to anyone who loses sight that it was you who gave them the assignment. If Jeroboam had trusted in you instead of his own ability, he would never have made the golden calves. Wow! What a great lesson. Anytime I get my eyes on myself instead of you, I could fall into the same trap of fear and control. Help me remember the truth of who I am in Christ. Amen.
