"...in accordance with the word of the LORD." ~ 2 Kings 9:26c
"This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah..." ~ 2 Kings 9:36b
God's word is the specific revelation of His Truth, and when God speaks Truth, Truth comes true. This is not after-the-fact truth declaration but instead the proclamation of what God has decreed is going to happen in perfect holiness, justice, and love according to His will.
We see this revealed through the pages of scripture, and it is an amazing and marvelous revelation of God's intimate attention to the details of His plan while maintaining His integrity in working in and through people's free will actions and decisions. Yes, sometimes these details of life are very gory in their descriptions in the bible - as in the larger text of 2 Kings 9 - but nevertheless, God works His plan according to His perfect will for His glory and the good of His people.
Are you trusting God and taking Him at His word?
Are you spending time drawing close to Him by reading and prayerfully considering what His word even says?
Keep delighting in Him as you spend regular time with Him through His Word applied to your life by His Holy Spirit as you grow in your faith in Jesus Christ.
Seeking God, delighting in Him through His word, and praising Him for His word applied through our lives, and praying the same for you,
~ Pastor Sean and Tess
