Thoughtful Devotions: I and II Kings

I and II Kings give the account of the many kings that reigned over Israel and Judah. Before this, it was just Israel, but the actions of King Rehoboam created a split. This was just one of many troublesome things to transpire. The hearts of the people would be turned to idolatry. The prophets would declare the Word of God to turn back to the true King. Ignored, Israel would eventually be led away into captivity. Despite the disheartening nature of I and II Kings, hope could still be seen. Kings such as Hezekiah and Josiah, along with the prophets Elisha and Elijah, provide accounts of turning to God, miracles, and restoration. Journey through these two books with this devotional and let it stir your heart to keep the King always on the throne.
