🍞 Obeying beside 2 Chronicles 24:20
When obeying is loud, 2 Chronicles 24:20 is a sentence you can borrow. “The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, ‘Why do you disobey Yahweh’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.’”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. 2 Chronicles 24:20 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
