Our reading challenge for the day is 1 Kings 21-22. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
1 Kings 21 - We have an example of how Ahab’s cruelty was spurred on by Jezebel. She urged him to evil. While Ahabe repented, Jezebel did not. In his mercy God suspended his penalties until Ahab’s death.
1 Kings 22 - As Israel and Judah act in alliance against syria ahab meets his end and the Syrians take the day. God’s judgment falls on the unfaithful people of Judah and Israel.
Whenever we look to government for solutions to our spiritual struggles we are disappointed. May we rather look to the civil realm for civil situations but to the Church for moral and spiritual help.
