2 Mokole 1:10

The Book of 2 Kings is a story of a nation struggling to be faithful to a good God and the consequences of that struggle. Amid the land's idolatry, bold men rose up to call out evil and call the nation back to God. In this week of devotionals, we will look at these men and learn from their boldness as we do an overview of the Book of 2 Kings. Written by J.R. Hudberg

Have you noticed that the world around you is getting darker and evil seems to be winning? God's Word is both timeless and timely and the story of Elijah in 1 & 2 Kings shows how God was faithful to His people even in the midst of demonic destruction. Elijah was one of the greatest men, after Jesus Christ, to ever live, and his boldness will encourage you to stand firm against the ultimate Enemy.

The towering figures who dominate the pages of 1 and 2 Kings are not the kings themselves, but the prophets, often called “men of God.” These messengers from God to the king and the people, with their faithful and often costly obedience, stand in stark contrast to the mostly bleak portrait of the monarchs of Judah and the unrelieved negative portrayal of the kings of Israel. Of these mighty people of faith, Elijah is the major player in the second half of 1 Kings. His story offers us deep lessons of faith and courage.

Elijah’s prayers changed the whole atmosphere – and he was just as human as we are. Everyday Miracles offers twenty daily devotional readings, journaling questions and daily prayers. The Elijah and Elisha devotionals point to Jesus everyday and open readers’ eyes to everyday miracles.
