Bible Verse of The Day – 10-8-24

2 Kings 19:5-6 (NKJV) 5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

Even though we are living under God’s grace, and the New Covenant, it is still good to spend time reading, studying, and learning in the Old Testament.

There is much that can be gleaned from these ancient writings when it comes to understanding who God is and how we got to where we are today when looking at the big picture.

As we witness current events, it is all tied to things of old. As Solomon stated, “there is nothing new under the sun.”

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NKJV) 9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.

There is no evil that God has not already seen or that is unique in the earth. The devil still uses the same tactics to deceive and enslave humanity.

And God is acutely aware of it all. Nothing escapes His eye.

Righteous people often watch evil being carried out and wonder why God does not immediately judge those by whom it is perpetrated.

And here is what the Old Testament teaches us about this.

In some situations, God will allow certain actions to be carried out by people who have given themselves over to evil. Let me explain.

As the Israelites frequently disobeyed God, He punished them in different ways for their blatant disobedience.

He would often use natural disasters such as plagues, fires, famines, etc.

But sometimes He would use evil kings and armies to inflict punishment upon those who called themselves His people yet worshiped false gods and idols made by man.

We will discuss this in more depth tomorrow.

We hope you will join us.
