Exposition
And his allowance was a
continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the
days of his life – King Jehoiachin had been in captivity for thirty seven years
and suddenly his captor decided that enough is enough. He was released and
elevated above other kings in Babylon. Above this, he was promised a daily
allowance for the rest of his life by King Evilmerodach.
Great news for him, but please
remember Exodus 1: 8-14 that there
came a time in Egypt when the King who knew not Joseph came to the throne. Recognition
and provision by governments can stop or change. Dependence on people or
institutions is not a wise move because they can change their minds or they can
fold up. All over the world many organisations in existence forty years ago are
no more.
The King was given a daily
rate all the days of his life by another King. I know of a King who has never
changed because He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is the King of
Kings and the Lord of Lords. He has promised you a daily rate. The daily rate
does not spill over to the next day. Psalm
68:19 says He daily loads us with benefits. The daily rate is daily
protection, daily victory, daily lifting up, daily provision and so on and so
forth. I invite you to insert whatever blessing you require daily from the King
who never changes. He has been doing it daily for children and He will continue
to do so.
Prayer
I thank you for my daily
rate of blessings. Father, I have used up yesterday’s grace, I need grace to
see me through today. My family and I went out yesterday, as we are about to go
out today, keep us safe O Lord. I am going out to make a living, grant me my
daily rate. My daily rate will not pass me by in Jesus name. Amen
