GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
DAILY DEVOTIONAL
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
READ 2 KINGS 9:1 THROUGH 10:36
Following Israel’s division into two kingdoms, idolatry entered the Northern Kingdom. First, Jeroboam established a religion based on the worship of twin calf images. Later, Ahab introduced Baal worship—a fertility cult practiced by the Canaanites. God commissioned Jehu to eliminate this idolatry.
“You are to destroy the house of Ahab your master, and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets and the blood of all the Lord’s servants shed by Jezebel” (2 Kings 9:7).
Israel had become unfaithful to God, and it experienced the terrible consequences of its disobedience. The prophets of Baal had persecuted the prophets of the god, and now the false prophets were going to reap what they had sown.
Jehu displayed aggressiveness, fearlessness, and determination—all necessary qualities for a mission of this kind. With God’s help he accomplished his mission.
Everyone has a God-given mission that fits their skills and personalities. The Holy Spirit empowers people to exceed their natural abilities.
Today’s Challenge: Be faithful and fulfill your mission.
Quicklook: 2 Kings 9:1–12
