Destruction: A Study in 2 Kings

DÍA 22 DE 24

What does it say?

Josiah led the people in making a covenant with God, cleansing the land of idols, and keeping the Passover for the first time in generations.

What does it mean?

When Josiah read the Book of the Covenant to the people, the power of God’s Word was significant. The ensuing covenant Josiah and the people made allowed them to reconnect with God before captivity. The consequences of their evil choices were still coming, but God’s steadfast commitment prepared them for exile with His Word, promises, and a revived relationship with Him.

How should I respond?

The results of sinful choices are ultimately costly and unpleasant. After seeking God’s forgiveness, it’s natural to ask Him to protect us from the consequences. Sometimes He will remove them; other times, He will prepare us for them. Take a moment to think through a poor decision. How are you approaching God regarding the consequences? Are you asking Him to deal with them or with you? Despite what you are facing, God is committed to you and is with you continually. The power of God’s Word can revive your relationship with Him. What promise from Scripture gives you strength for today and prompts you to be more committed to Him?

Destruction: A Study in 2 Kings

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.
