The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in 2 Kings 9:34-37,
"Jehu went in and ate and drank. 'Take care of that cursed woman [Jezebel],' he said, 'and bury her, for she was a king's daughter.' But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. They went back and told Jehu, who said, 'This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs will devour Jezebel's flesh. Jezebel's body will be like dung on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, "This is Jezebel."'"
This turn of events took place following Jehu's killing of King Joram of Israel, King Ahaziah of Judah and the evil woman, Jezebel, at the Lord's command. All were wicked and all died for their wickedness.
The amazing thing about sin is that it instills an insanity within us such that we think we can allow our lives to be ruled by it and not have to pay the price. It deceives us into thinking that God will not exact his judgment of us for it. Indeed, so many people fabricate so many things in the effort to remove God from their thinking. This is truly the deception of sin!
"It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Hebrews 10:31. All sin will be paid for! How thankful I am that Jesus Christ paid for mine. How about you?
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share what moved you about him from your Bible reading today. I'd love to hear from you!
If you have someone you would like to receive these ruminations, send me their email address. I'm happy to add them to the list. If you are receiving this and would like to be removed from the list, just respond and let me know.
