Day One

Start by praying and asking the Living God to reveal himself to you through your time together and throughout the day. Then read the Scriptures from your Bible and reflect on them using the questions I've provided or on your own.

The Scriptures for today are 1 Chronicles 28:9-10; 2 Chronicles 7:1-22; 2 Chronicles 15; 2 Chronicles 30:18-20; and Matthew 6:31-34.

Questions to ponder (and comment back to):
  1. What advice does David give his son, Solomon?
  2. What theme or idea is repeated throughout all of these Scripture passages?
  3. Based on all of the passages from Chronicles 1 and 2, what should you be focusing on in your life (especially for the next 30 days)?
  4. When we focus on seeking the Living God, what does Scripture promise us?
  5. What kind things can get in the way of seeking the Living God?
  6. How does obedience tie in to seeking the Living God?
  7. What is an area of your life where the Living God is calling you to obey?
  8. How does Jesus tell us how to keep the real needs of food, clothing, etc. from getting in the way of seeking the Living God?

Close in prayer by committing to seeking the Living God and thanking God that he will be faithful to reveal himself to you! Feel free to post your responses to the questions in the comments section if you want.
