2 King11: 1-4,9,18-20
Meditation
Athaliah was the daughter
of Ahab and Jezebel and the wife of Jeham, the king of Judah. At the death of
her son, Ahaziah she ruled the kingdom for seven years. She killed the entire
royal family member except Joash. Even Athaliah gets killed in the palace and
people are calm and happy.
Joash
became king at the age of seven. He ruled Jerusalem for forty years. Joash followed the commands of the Lord and
did what was right in the sight of God. He was faithful to God; people were unfaithful to the
Lord. King Joash listened to Jehoiada. Jehoiada was a guide and support in his
life decisions and even in choosing his life partners.
Are we aware that blessed are those
who follow the commands of God?
