March 10, 2025, 2 Kings 15:8-12
8 In the
thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam
reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. 9 And he
did what was evil in the sight of the Lord,
as his fathers had done. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of
Nebat, which he made Israel to sin. 10 Shallum
the son of Jabesh conspired against him and struck him down at Ibleam and
put him to death and reigned in his place. 11 Now
the rest of the deeds of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the Book of the
Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 12 (This
was the promise of the Lord that
he gave to Jehu, “Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth
generation.” And so it came to pass.)
Six months of wicked reign
is how King Zechariah’s is shown. The
cycle of violence and turmoil continued in the Northern Kingdom of Israel
during his reign because King Zechariah remained in sin.
How are you pursuing
righteousness? Regardless of our
foundation in faith, we must remain vigilant regarding “turning away” or “becoming
lacks” regarding God’s Word and commandments.
Where are you at in your walk with God and commitment to be more
righteous, obedient and faithful each day?
