Our I Kings 22 passage tells of the kings of Israel and Judah going into battle together in an ill-conceived alliance. The king of Israel disguised himself as a commoner while the king of Judah wore his true colors.
In our Matthew 7 passage, Jesus is telling us things are not always as they appear. Like Ahab, who tried to look innocuous in his common covering, Jesus warns that many may come appearing religious and righteous but are not. What is the tell? We are to look at their lifestyle, the fruit they are producing, not just the works but the spirit, the motivation behind what they say and do. Are they laying up treasures in Heaven or are they merely stockpiling goods here?

About this Plan
This is the twelfth installment of a Bible reading plan following the lectionary pattern, offering daily readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament. Each day includes a devotional primer to help prepare your heart and mind for a deeper, more meaningful encounter with Scripture. While this plan is designed to align with Holy Week in April, it can be used at any time, though it will be most relevant during that season.
