"And it came to pass in the seventh year, that Yehoyada sent for the captains of the hundreds of the Karites and the riders : and he made a covenant with them, and made them take an oath ..." 2 Kings 11.4

 

At the death of King Ahaziah, Athaliah, his mother, was determined to exercise power. Unscrupulous woman, she ordered to kill all potential heirs of the throne, including her own sons and grandsons. Even the little Joas. But a courageous woman named Yehosheba secretly removed the child and sheltered him. Joas remained thus hidden for six years, only a small number of people being aware of his existence.
Remember that you have a specific role to play in the work of God.

In the seventh year, Yehoyada the priest judged the time for Joas to ascend the throne. The captains of the guards received very strict instructions so that their plan was not noisy. This complex operation required discretion and unfailing coordination, but was successful.

The work of these men is a fine example of how the Body of Christ should function. First, we must be determined to work for the kingdom of God. To follow Jesus. To put everything else in the background. But we also have to remember that each of us has a specific role to play. A special mission. Specific objectives. At the same time, let us not forget that we are part of the same Body and are called to work in harmony with the other members.

Today, remember that you have a specific role to play in the work of God. You have a destiny, gifts and talents of your own. There are some things you need to accomplish. Proclaim that Jesus is your Lord. Enter into his plan for your life and concentrate on the tasks he entrusts to you. Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Serve it humbly with all that is in you.

A prayer for today

Father, give me the vision of your call for me. Help me to stay focused on the mission you entrust me with. I want to dedicate my life to you. I seek your kingdom before all things. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
