2 Chronicles 8

Daily Devotional 2 Chronicles 8--


Verse 16
“Thus was accomplished all the work of Solomon from the day the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid until it was finished.”


What a satisfying feeling to complete something that you’ve started. From foundation to finish, Solomon completed the work God gave him to do.


What would it take for us to see projects through to the very end? I think a great deal of focus. Our problem is we have too much going on. I think more and more we need to focus on less and less. But focus isn’t enough; we also need faithfulness. Small daily tasks, consistent effort, and refusing to quit when the work gets tedious.


So ask yourself: What foundations have I already laid that need finishing? And where am I starting new things before completing what I already started? The Lord doesn’t just call us to begin well; he calls us to finish well.


Pray with me today, the prayer of Psalm 90:17–
“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands;
yes, establish the work of our hands!”


Demetrius Rogers
