There was a lot of information in this reading!
These are just a couple of interesting footnotes.
2 Kings 7:3-10 Footnote:
The lepers discovered the
deserted camp and realized their lives had been spared. At first they kept the
good news to themselves, forgetting their fellow citizens who were starving in
the city. The Good News about Jesus Christ must be shared too, for no news is
more important. We must not forget those who are dying without it. We must not
become so preoccupied with our own faith that we neglect sharing it with those
around us. Our "good news," like that of the lepers, will not "wait until
daylight."
2 Kings 10: 30, 31 Footnote:
Jehu did much of what the
Lord told him to, but he did not obey him with all his heart. He had become
God's instrument for carrying out justice, but he had not become God's
servant. As a result, he gave only lip service to God while permitting
the worship of the golden calves. Check the condition of your heart toward
God. We can be very active in our work for God and still not give the heartfelt
obedience he desires.
