2 Kings
9:1-37 - God’s judgment on Jezebel was awesome (30-37). Why does God’s Word speak to us so strongly of judgment? God is warning us. He is calling us to repent, to return to Him before it is too late, before our opportunity for repentance has gone. Make sure that you don’t reach the point of no return. ‘Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near’ (Isaiah 55:6). For you, this may be God’s time. The Lord may never be so ‘near’ again. You are in ‘the valley of decision’: ‘Today, when you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts’ (Joel 3:14; Hebrews 4:7). There is still time - to open your heart to Christ, to trust Him as your Saviour, to become a new creation in Him. Here is a prayer you can pray: ‘Restore us, O God; let Thy face shine, that we may be saved!’ (Psalm 80:3,7,19).

10:1-36
- Jehu was a proud man: ‘Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord’
(16). He was full of his own importance, a bit special, a bit out of the
ordinary, a cut above the rest. God did not share Jehu’s opinion of
himself - ‘Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord the God
of Israel with all his heart…’(31). Jehu’s attitude was ‘I’m all right,
Jack’. He didn’t bother to look too closely at himself. Let God’s Word
search your heart: ‘The Word of God is living and active, sharper than
any two-edged sword… discerning the thoughts and intentions of the
heart’ (Hebrews 4:12). Let this be your prayer to the Lord: ‘Search me, O
God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there
be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!’ (Psalm
139:24). Make sure that you mean it!
Amen my dear brother in Christ thanks so much for sharing with me
