Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and Revelation 15:1-4.

Water flowing swiftly across rocks in a river … sounds of surf splashing upon the sand … the voice of peace within erasing harsh accusations and judgments from within and without … Let your imagination transport you to a refreshing place in your life. That setting can be the means God uses so that you experience the peace that begins this chapter of Revelation. You will find a mark difference from the abrasive, horrific images of the previous chapters.

144,000—twelve groups of twelve thousand … Picture the vast assembly, just as the tribes gathered to listen to Moses’s final words in Deuteronomy. As the hours that radiate from a clock, there are four groups of three, from each direction, clustered about the Word. You are listening to the sounds of heaven; be revived.

Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and the Psalm.
Tap here for a video meditation on Psalm 143.

The millstone of persecution presses at David’s soul, grinding it into the flour of prayer. The burdens of life loosen more and more supplications. The outpourings stretch him to God. Waves of comfort crescendo as David yearns for God’s help. The very longing for God is a sign of God’s presence.

Find those points of connection between you and David. Does the Lord bring anyone to mind who is similarly burdened? A fervent praying of this psalm will be the conduit for the stream of grace to reach that one’s heart.

If only Rehoboam had prayed this psalm of his grandfather, David, with all his heart! Will you pray the psalm?

Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and 2 Chronicles 12:9-12.

The grace of God, so abundant and flowing in David and Solomon, ceases in the life of the next son and king, Rehoboam. Arrogance, a vice that gives a halt to grace and is a scandal to others, seethes in the heart of David’s grandson, rending asunder what God had put together—one sacred people. The evil of power and control turns the one sacred river of life, into two; Judah and Israel will separate.:

The united cover of grace now lost, Judah becomes vulnerable to an attack from the age-old enemy of God’s designs, Egypt. The threat offers an opportunity for Rehoboam to become humble, opening himself once again to some measure of God’s saving help.

Anything fresh come to mind? Become humble before the saving hand of the Lord upon your life.
