Reflection on 1&2 Kings (Mar 12)

Trusting God thru His Promises

The purpose of 1&2 Kings is to show
the result when God is forgotten.
Because David had a heart for
the Lord, his son Solomon was able
to lead Israel into a glorious season.
His reign was marked by wealth,
prosperity and wisdom. It also
describes the history of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and
the Southern kingdom of Judah,
focussing on the spiritual successes
and many failures of each kingdom.
On Monday, we learn from 1Kgs 8
that God’s Plan Will Be Fulfilled.
On Tuesday, we learn from 1Kgs 17
that God Provides for His Servants.
On Wednesday, we learn fr 1Kgs 18
that God Acts on Persistent Prayer.
On Thursday, we learn from 2Kgs 4
that God of Miracles to be Trusted.
On Friday, we learn from 2Kgs 6
that God’s Strength Is Greater.
On Sat, we learn from 2Kgs 13
that God Rescues His People.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who trust You;
for You truly keep Your promises;
for Your strength is greater,
for You provide for His people,
act on persistent prayers, perform
miracles & rescue His people. Amen
