2 Kings 9:1-4

Are you tired of comfortable Christianity? Are you wondering what it takes to be on fire for Christ? This devotional is for you. Based on James Aladiran's book 'Life on Fire', this 8-day plan calls believers into a radical way of living, one that has the potential to shift culture and awaken souls for Christ. Devotional was written and adapted by Anna Tran.

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.

This is the thirteenth installment of a Bible reading plan following the lectionary pattern, offering daily readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament. Each day includes a devotional primer to help prepare your heart and mind for a deeper, more meaningful encounter with Scripture. Additionally, as we commemorate the 1,700-year anniversary of the Nicene Creed this year, this plan provides a daily focus to help us understand and celebrate this foundational confession of our Christian faith.
