In seeing how much of a MESS that God’s people continued to get themselves into through turning away from the Lord- I am AMAZED at God’s continuous and everlasting faithfulness. Despite their sin He kept his covenant to continue David’s house all the way to Christ. He truly keeps all His promises.

The same way Christ broke bread with the two going to Emmaus is the same way He does with us. not only does He give us natural food but also spiritual food. He truly is our provider.

“13 And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.”
So, Jeroboam’s son died because God saw something pleasing in him. I don’t think I’ve ever caught that before. How interesting that God “took” him, maybe to save him from following in his father’s footsteps and eventually being killed anyway? Just thought it was interesting.-
Debbie- That struck me today as well. Such a different perspective. All Jeroboam’s household was to be destroyed and unburied but not so with his son Abijah. He was to die the moment his mom stepped foot into the city. As a mom, I’m not sure I’d go back home… But maybe she didn’t believe Ahijah, the prophet. Sad family story.

According to the word of the LORD…it’s unfailing ever time…these passages where there is a fulfilled prophecy just encourages my faith even more so

I am so excited to be daily reading these passages with you guys! This really is a blessing, to hear from you and pray with you throughout the week. (:
One main thing stood out to me today from the first passage:
The kings of Israel and Judah were given a responsibility to lead and guide their people. While they may not be in charge of every detail, God makes it clear in 1 Kings 14-15 that they do set for the nation their position of their hearts toward God.
Should a king choose to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, He will lead the people that way. Should he choose to ignore God and go his own way, the people will turn away from God too.
The challenge I take away from 1 Kings 13-14 is to take my relationship with God as the most important thing to work on daily in my life. If I ever am in an opportunity to serve as a leader (in a mission, organization, club, family), I want to be well prepared to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, by leading in obedience to God; and that begins first with me.
