1 Kings 21-22

1 Kings 21-22
How often does one meddle in sin before it over takes them beyond the point of return? If Ahab and Jezebel had succeeded in anything it was that they had lead Israel towards Idolatry in a detrimental state. The northern kingdoms are eventually be exiled by Assyria in the next century and their descendants would never return to their homeland. Ahab, although corrupt had the resources to fear and hear God but always neglected them. He is the classic example of someone who acknowledges God but refuses to follow Him, this would be his downfall. King Ahab or Israel was considered more wicked than any other Israeli ruler but when we repented in deep humility, God took noticed and reduced his punishment. What I should consistently remind myself is that no matter how neglectful I have been, It is never too late to humble myself, turn to God and plead a genuine cry of repentance.
