Week 17 - Day 1


1 Kings 20-22

*Click here to read these passages:

“Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

Two different times God tells Ahab (considered one of the most evil kings) that He will give him victory in battle so that Ahab would know that He was God.  Then God also showed a little mercy when it says Ahab humbled himself before the Lord. 

Even though Ahab was an evil king who disrespected God’s commands, God wanted him to understand that the Lord is the one true God.  He wanted Ahab to experience His power and His truth, and of course, God wanted Ahab to choose to follow Him.  Unfortunately, Ahab did not choose that. 

This made me think of the apostle Paul in the New Testament; or I should probably say Saul – before the change of name and heart.  Saul was one of the number one guys when it came to persecuting the followers of Jesus.  God revealed His power and His truth.  Paul did choose to follow, and soon became one of the number one guys in building the Christian church.

Praying for God’s power and truth to be revealed as well as His desire for relationship.
