Broken and beautiful...!

II Kings 22:19-20 NKJV

because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, ” says the Lord . “Surely, therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place.” ’ ” So they brought back word to the king.

Shalom! Day #174. Do you know that humbleness is the key and the beginning of healing and restoration? Let's pray. Father, as we humble ourselves and come before You in repentance, Lord come and heal us, restore us and revive us. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

You may ask why Humbleness? The answer is simple, you won't be able to repent with all your heart if you don't humble yourselves before God. Humbleness is the beginning of true repentance. When you humble yourselves before God, He hears your prayers. Many people, they are very hard to be broken, they are to puffed up and they think why I should bow to God. But when God began to break them, they utterly be shattered into pieces.

The birth of Josiah was predicted years before he was born. God began to use him and established him as a king at the age of 8. Josiah feared the Lord and did right in the sight of the Lord. When God was about to bring calamity upon the inhabitants, Josiah heard the word of God and he responded to it.  He tore his clothes and wept and prayed. Kings normally wears their kingly robes and what Josiah did was something we must learn. He tore his robes,  meaning to say he stripped off himself to nothing before God.  Stripped off his title as a king, stripped off his throne and humbled himself before God. Many people, when they are encountered by God, they still stand before God with all of their glory and splendor. There's nothing to hard for God that canmot be broken, yet He is a gentle God who doesn't force His way on His children. God hears the prayers of a humbled heart. You talents, giftings are all from God , there's nothing to be proud off, God deserves all the glory not you. Use your talents and giftings to glorify God and not yourself be glorified. When you come before God, stripped yourself before God. Remember you are just a human being before God, created from the dust, but then God chose you for a greater purpose.

James 4:10 NKJV

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
