Isaiah 66:1-24; 2 Kings 21:1-22:2; 2 Chronicles 33:1-34:3; Psalm 82:1-8
I studied the beautiful sunrise this morning as I waited for the bus. It was amazing with brilliant orange and saturated pink on a background of soft blue and white. I prayed, "Lord, you are even more beautiful than this sunrise which is only an infinitesimal reflection of your glory." Then I opened my Bible and began reading in Isaiah 66:
King Hezekiah - good then blessed then proud
King Manasseh - wicked then repentant and humble
King Amon - wicked
King Josiah - young and ignorant then good then gooder
Prayer
Heavenly Father, you are beautiful and glorious. Thank you for revealing yourself through the sunrise and your Scriptures. I pray that I would be humble and repentant like Manasseh at the end of his life, and I pray that I will seek you like Josiah and lead others to seek you wholeheartedly. I pray that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart would be pleasing in your sight, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer! I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

1 This is what the LORD says:
"Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2 Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?"
declares the LORD.
"This is the one I esteem:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit,
and trembles at my word.
