Uzziah, a King, but not THE KING

Uzziah, a King, but not THE KING

by Heather Collver

Are there days we would rather do something else? Have you been called to one area of your life and decided that there must be some other area you can be used in? God is an awesome God and he knows what we are capable of and he knows our future. If we are so set on not using the tools and the calling he has given us now, there is a good chance we will never be satisfied with who we are, God's creation.

The following scripture passage has become life like to me as I read through scripture. Uzziah didn't pay much attention to the truth in line two of the 21st verse of Daniel. He was too focused on himself.

Daniel 2:21-22
21 He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.

Praise and Prayer

Lord, I pray that this week was an eye opener for many of us. That we would be okay with what you have called us to be. May we focus on you and not on ourselves, not on our own understanding, but on the wisdom you give us. HC

I went to the urgent care yesterday. I have pneumonia still/again and have been put back on another antibiotic. I am thankful I didn't have to be admitted to the hospital or anything major. I pray that I will truly get better this time. HC

With the downpour, I was reminded that I had not finished getting our yard ready for the fall/winter. The high winds are knocking around a few things that need to be taken care of in the yard and I am praying that I will get better and be able to take care of those things. HC
