1 Chronicles 15-16

Daily Devotional from 1 Chronicles 16--

Verse 34

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.

Earlier this week, I went out to the beach with my family and lost my phone. It just fell out of my pocket, and we combed the beach to no avail. But while looking, I prayed, “Lord, you tell me that if I ask, I will receive. So, will you please return my phone?"

Then, a thought occurred to us. Why don’t you call the phone? Nah, the thing is in the ocean. No one picked it up off the ground. We were there the whole time. But we went ahead and called, and a man answered on the other end! We arranged for pick up, and within the hour I had my phone back.

I’m convinced we'll know the goodness of Jesus the more we bring our needs to him in prayer. We don’t know how he’s going to answer or when, but if we ask, we will see that He is good.
