DAY TWENTY-FIVE (1 Kings 7:38 – 1 Kings 16:20)
Sometimes it takes being in the land of our enemies in order for us to turn back to God (1 Kings 8:48). Wish we didn’t have to learn the hard way, but it seems to be embedded in our sinful nature.
1 Kings 10:1 – Don’t be surprised when others test what they see of God in you.
I want God’s blessings in my life to amaze others and draw them to Him. (1 Kings 10:5-9)
The beginning of the end for the wisest man that ever lived. (1 Kings 11:1-2)
Reading 1 Kings 12:28 felt like a repeat because it was (compare it to Exodus 32:4). Man, we are slow to learn and quick to repeat.
1 Kings 13:17-19 – an interesting story that shows how critical discernment and confirmation is. God will not speak a different word through others than the one He spoke to you.
1 Kings 16 is sad in the number of times Jeroboam is referred to as a type of barometer of bad leaders. Not the legacy you want to leave.
