S // SCRIPTURE
Select a verse from today’s reading
2 Chronicles 15:14 (NKJV) Then they took an oath before the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams’ horns.
O // OBSERVATION
Why did this verse get your attention? Make a simple observation from the text
Often when I think of an oath I think of something solemn, quiet, reverent and private. It is a serious thing go enter into a covenant. It’s like a marriage vow.
Marriages are serious but they are also celebrations.
I like the description of this oath. It was loud and raucous. It wasn’t done in secret, hidden in a corner. It was public. It was celebrated.
A // APPLICATION
How can I apply this to my life today?
Sometimes we are too private and quiet about our relationship with God. We are too serious. Shout! Sound instruments! Blow horns! It is a wonderful privilege to make an oath with the Lord.
I may not be perfect but I can be loud. Life with the Lord is a celebration.
P // PRAYER
Express yourself in prayer
Jesus, You came that I might have life to the full. I celebrate Your gift of life today. Amen.
