Pray for kings, he says, and then adds, "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior." Not easy. Not natural. Good. Think of the name you would rather not mention before God. Say it tonight. That prayer pleases Him more than you know.

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Father, you hold the living and those I thought were lost to me. Nothing slips out of your keeping. When…Father, you hold the living and those I thought were lost to me. Nothing slips out of your keeping. When grief makes the future look like an ending, remind me that in your hands everyone is alive, and death does not get the last word.
Let's flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!" The Egyptians got the theology…Let's flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!" The Egyptians got the theology right. They named God correctly while chariot wheels dragged in the mud. Knowing who God is isn't the same as bowing to him. What truth have you admitted out loud, and then run from anyway?
Count the words in Nabal's answer: "my bread", "my water", "my meat", "my shearers". Four times he grips what he…Count the words in Nabal's answer: "my bread", "my water", "my meat", "my shearers". Four times he grips what he thinks he owns, and once he claims ignorance: "men who I don't know where they come from." He knew. He just preferred not to. What has God put in your hands that you've started calling "mine"?
Father, teach me the kind of discipline that lasts. I give so much energy to things that fade, and so…Father, teach me the kind of discipline that lasts. I give so much energy to things that fade, and so little to what you're building in me. Help me train my heart, say no when I need to, and keep my eyes on what will never wear out.
Thank You that You remembered the Emim, "a people great, many, and tall, as the Anakim," long after the world…Thank You that You remembered the Emim, "a people great, many, and tall, as the Anakim," long after the world forgot their names. You keep account of every nation, and no giant ever stood in the way of what You promised to give. That steadies me today.
About Faith.Network
The Bible is a book full of wisdom, but sometimes hard to understand. Faith.Network was born from the desire to make that depth accessible to everyone.
We believe technology can help faith grow. By combining the power of smart software with reliable theological sources, we offer explanation, background and context for every verse. So that you do not just read, but truly grow.
Disclaimer: Faith.network uses automated language models to prepare Bible studies and reflections. All content is generated from the Bible text itself and checked daily by an independent, automated quality control: random samples from every language site are scored on faithfulness to Scripture, verbatim Bible quotation, language and clarity, and the results are published unedited. Even so, no explanation is infallible and mistakes can occur. Nothing on this platform constitutes professional advice, and no rights can be derived from its content. Always test what you read against the Bible itself, and use Faith.network as a supplement to — never a replacement for — your own Bible study, prayer and the life of a local church community.
