2 Chronicles 19-21, Psalms 106:1-23
What God said to me – In order to leave a lasting heritage of good and godly things to your children and grandchildren you must walk with Me consistently. You must not be like the children of Israel who one minute are believing My word and praising My name and the next they forget My works and do not wait for My counsel. They let their appetites and cravings drive them. Self-control comes from walking with Me constantly and consistently. As I live through you and in you, self-control becomes a way of life. When you cannot control your appetites, it is because you are not depending on Me. Godliness is the result of dependence, not indulgence.
