2 Kings 17:22-24

Study the Old Testament historical books and learn how they find their fulfillment in Christ! These books tell the story of how God worked through Israel despite its sin; how Israel was eventually exiled from their land because of their sin; and how God then brought his people back home to rebuild them. In these books, we find hope in God’s love at work in our weakness and failure.

As Christ-followers we acknowledge that Jesus is not only our Savior, but also our Lord. We recognize that everything belongs to Him and that we’re only stewards of His good gifts. Through this plan’s devotional content and brief Scripture readings, you’ll discover that being a good steward of those gifts requires that we become more and more like Him—the essence of conformity.

Walking in His Presence Daily is a 21-day journey of prayer and fasting inspired by Daniel’s devotion. Designed to deepen spiritual focus, this plan invites believers to seek God’s presence, guidance, and purpose. Through intentional time in prayer and Scripture, we humble ourselves, grow in understanding, and align our hearts with His will.

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.
