JEZEBEL 219

Friday

H E R L E G A C Y O F P R A Y E R

Who knows the power of your anger?

For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.

Teach us to number our days aright,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

— Psalm 90:11 – 12

Reflect On:

2 Kings 9.

Praise God:

That he does not allow evil to go unpunished.

Offer Thanks:

For justice, even when it seems delayed.

Confess:

Any tendency to take God’s mercy for granted.

Ask God:

To give you a healthy fear of offending him.

w ’re never going to die, it’s healthy to consider our own

demise from time to time. Doing so humbles us, strips away our

illusions, reminds us we are creatures answerable to a creator. Take

thirty minutes to imagine your last day on earth. With whom do

you want to spend it? What kind of memories do you want to leave

behind? Do you have any lingering regrets, any unfinished business,

any unfulfilled dreams? Ask God to guide you through this exercise.

Let him show you what in your life can be affirmed and celebrated

and what still needs to be transformed by his grace. Then tell him

you’re willing to do whatever it takes to become the woman he

wants you to be.

Lord, I don’t want to fear you for the wrong reasons, but for the right

ones — to stand in awe because of who you are. Gracious God, let

me never make light of your justice or your power. Instead, let me live

in a way that honors you. For you are Wonderful Counselor, Mighty

God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
