  • Volume 11-45, 2 Kings 1

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_kings/1.htm As we read in the last chapter of 1 Kings, Ahab’s son, Ahaziah took over as King of Israel, or King of Samaria as it is sometimes referred to. And in this chapter, we read where Ahaziah is injured at home, and sends messengers to inquire of a false god whether he would survive or not. And here is where I am torn every time I read scripture. This chapter, if taken at face… Continue reading

  • Volume 11-44, 2 Chronicles 18-21

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_chronicles/18.htm As we continue, we see similarities between the Book of Kings and the Book of Chronicles, but it to read both because one may add a bit more information than the other and vice versa. We review the pact made between Jehoshaphat and Ahab, we review the death of Ahab, and now we see where Edom rises up against Judah. This is probably where Obadiah, the chapter we just finished, comes in. God surely… Continue reading

  • Volume 11-43, Obadiah

    https://biblehub.com/niv/obadiah/1.htm Little things matter. If you recall when Abraham lost his faith in God and took matters into his own hands, one little thing has ended up causing problems ever since. God had promised Abraham he would have many heirs, that he would be the father of a great nation. But his wife Sarah was barren and could not have children. Abraham, or rather Sarah, grew weary waiting on the Lord, lost faith that He… Continue reading

  • Volume 11-42, 1 Kings 22

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_kings/22.htm Prophets. When are they good, and when aren’t they? God used prophets to convey his message to the children of Israel. And we’ve read about prophets like Nathan, who reminded David of his sins after David’s lust got in the way of his clear thinking. We’ve had prophets like Samuel, who warned Saul many times over about his behavior, but Saul wouldn’t listen and ended up separating himself from God. And we will continue… Continue reading

  • Volume 11-41, 1 Kings 20

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_kings/20.htm I try to stay away from political posts on Facebook because, well, I believe Satan uses that platform to divide people, to set man against man. And yes, I’ve fallen victim to that before, allowing the temptation of Satan get to me. Fortunately, God has been patient and worked with me. I’ve went from participating in such mayhem, to the point that I would pound out a response, then delete it before sending it,… Continue reading

  • Volume 11-40, 1 Kings 18-19

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_kings/18.htm I warned you that Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, was wicked, and she has set out to kill all of God’s prophets. And Obadiah, and Edomite who had converted to Judaism, was hiding prophets from her. Remember in the Book of Judges when Gideon cut down the statue of Baal, and the people set out to kill him. His father interceded, telling them that if Baal was so great, he could right the… Continue reading

  • Volume 11-39, 2 Chronicles 17, 1 Kings 17

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_chronicles/17.htm I’m guilty. I’ve been guilty of doubting God, thinking that our nation, our world, is too far gone to save. I’ve been under the impression that we’ve gotten so far away from God that there is no turning back, that we have to just sit back and pray for the return of Jesus Christ. But perhaps I’m wrong. Jehoshaphat is now the King of Judah. And scripture says he was a good king, following… Continue reading

  • Volume 11-38, 1 Kings 16, 2 Chronicles 15-16

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_kings/15.htm In just two short chapters of kings, we’ve had several changes of command, in both Judah and Israel. And as I read their accounts, it reminds me of someone who has watched a movie that I haven’t, and they are telling me about it, giving me the abbreviated versions and telling me the high points. Then again, some of them reigned for just three short years, so the story of their kingdom would be… Continue reading
