2 Kings 2: A Double Portion

Last updated on: March 18, 2013 at 11:00 am By Dillon Burroughs

9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me.” -2 Kings 2:9-10 When Elijah was ready to leave this world, he asked his protege Elisha what he could do for him. Elisha’s answer? To receive a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. What did Elisha mean? He simply wanted to have double the spiritual... Read more

2 Kings 1: No Fear

Last updated on: March 15, 2013 at 8:35 am By Dillon Burroughs

The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king. -2 Kings 1:15 Elijah was a simple man. He wore a garment of hair and a leather belt around his waist. He had no weapons or army, yet God spoke through “the angel of the Lord” to tell him not to be afraid of the king. Why was Elijah not...

1 Kings 22: Only What the Lord Tells Me

Last updated on: March 14, 2013 at 7:20 am By Dillon Burroughs

But Micaiah said, “As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.” -1 Kings 22:14 I used to think the prophets were the superheroes of the Bible. They could tell the future, confront evil, and save the day. But the more I read about them in Scripture, the less inclined I am to make this connection. The Old Testament prophets were powerful, yet limited. Case in point: the prophet in 1 Kings 22.... Read more

1 Kings 21: We All Stand in Need of God’s Grace

Last updated on: March 13, 2013 at 12:48 pm By Dillon Burroughs

27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and fasted. He lay in sackcloth and went around meekly. 28 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: 29 “Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son.” -1 Kings 21:27-28 I am amazed at God’s grace... Read more

1 Kings 20

Last updated on: March 12, 2013 at 11:07 am By Dillon Burroughs

The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.’” -1 Kings 20:28 God doesn’t like when people treat him like a weak God. The enemies of Israel thought the Lord was only a god... Read more

1 Kings 19: A Gentle Whisper

Last updated on: March 11, 2013 at 4:07 pm By Dillon Burroughs

11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after... Read more

1 Kings 18: The Reason for Miracles

Last updated on: March 8, 2013 at 10:58 am By Dillon Burroughs

Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!” -1 Kings 18:38-39 Christians believe in miracles, but often do not realize the purpose for God’s special interventions into our lives. When Elijah experienced the miracle of God sending fire to the altar he... Read more

1 Kings 17: The Power of Prayer

Last updated on: March 7, 2013 at 7:25 am By Dillon Burroughs

Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.” -1 Kings 17:1 Could your prayers change the weather? Elijah’s did. He prayed for three and a half years that it would not rain, and it happened just as he asked. Amazing! Was this limited only to Elijah? Maybe not. James 5:16... Read more

1 Kings 16: Take God’s Promises Seriously

Last updated on: March 6, 2013 at 9:23 am By Dillon Burroughs

In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun. -1 Kings 16:34 God’s people had lived so long apart from his law that they no longer took his warnings seriously. The final verse of 1 Kings 16 reveals a key example.... Read more

1 Kings 15: Fully Devoted

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 10:53 am By Dillon Burroughs

He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been. -1 Kings 15:3 Abijah was one of the “bad” kings of Judah. While a simple scan of the passage reveals this fact, many miss the explanation as to why Abijah was evil. Verse 3 teaches, “His hear was not fully devoted to the Lord his God.” Unlike David, who...
