An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
June 14
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAY And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house. (2 Chronicles 24:16)
How will you be evaluated when you leave this life? Jehoiada, the priest, left an impeccable testimony behind. His faithfulness to the Lord and toward his family was so outstanding that they buried him in the city of David among the kings. What a tribute! God can take anyone and make them a blessing. Jehoiada and his wife Jehoshabeath had saved the life of a young king and then Jehoiada had raised him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Young Joash made a great king, and served faithfully during the life of Jehoiada the priest. On June 14, 1961 I was saved at a Christian youth camp. Since then, God has sent many godly people who have influenced my life for good. I am so thankful for each one. Pray today that God will help you to be an influence for good to someone. ~~~ DAILY BIBLE READING FOR JUNE 14: 2 Chronicles 22-24
