2 Kings 20:12

Join us in praying for peace in our hearts and our nation with this 7-day reading plan featuring prayers from The One Year Pray for America Bible.

Every man leaves a legacy—it’s never a question of "if," but what kind. Our lives are shaping others right now, for better or worse. This week, we’ll explore how to cultivate a legacy that points to God, blesses those closest to us, and continues to bear fruit long after we’re gone. Written by Darryl Dash.

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Seven of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled ‘Israel’s Exile, Judah’s Further Decline: 730 BC–615 BC’.
