“(for there is no man which sinneth not,)” - 2 Chronicles 6.36
This little parenthesis strikes me every time I read it!
The truth of it strikes me, and it strikes me more so because of where we actually find it in the Bible. It is right in the middle of King Solomon’s powerful prayer of dedication for the amazing temple in Jerusalem!
“Jesus answered him,
Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now” - John 13:36
Think about that very carefully. What is Jesus saying? “Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now;”
“Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.” - (Proverbs 4:25)
Don’t get distracted! Don’t get side-tracked! Keep looking straight ahead! “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.”
“But we will give ourselves continually to prayer,
and to the ministry of the word.” - Acts 6.4
These are the words of the twelve apostles during the time they needed to be focused and organized as ministers, preachers and pastors!
I claimed this verse sometime in 2006 for myself in my work as a pastor.
