Bible in a Year (The Story) Podcast
Religion & Spirituality
Today we read 2 Kings 1-2, 2 Chronicles 24-25, and Psalm 69-70. In this story, we start 2nd Kings and read the transition from the prophet Elijah to the prophet Elisha whose request is to have a double portion of spirit and his influence will be a touch less fiery but the author will write about twice as many miracles that Elisha performed as the successor of Elijah. We also read about a king whom God delivers a victory and instead of being grateful and faithful to God, he turns and worships the idols of the people and land God gave into his hands. This is a reminder that when God delivers a victory and gives us gifts we do not worship the gifts or the status of victory but the God who gave the gift, the portion of power and agency, the blessing for the purpose of being a blessing.
