July 2nd

The Bible reading today is in 2 Kings 1-4...God using Elijah (at the end of his ministry in Israel)
and Elisha (at the beginning of his) for His glory!

The king of Israel, Ahaziah, was on his sickbed in Samaria. He had fallen from the second-floor balcony onto the ground below. He was worried. So he sent for the Philistine seer, Baal Zebub...used in the New Testament for Satan.

Elijah intercepted the king’s entourage. He gave the king’s representatives a message from the God of Israel. “‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus says the Lord, You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”
