Times of Transition, Day 13

Even after this. Read 1 Kings chapter 13.

So much happens in this chapter! As we read through, the man of God comes to King Jeroboam. He does tremendous acts of demonstrating God’s power, and he helps Jeroboam to see that what he is doing is wrong. Now, Jeroboam only cares about it when it impacts him personally and once he gets that fixed, he’s not bothered by any of the other sin that he is committing.

However the story of everything that happened after had to have gone through the entire area. How could Jeroboam not have recognized God’s plan and intervention in this area and yet in spite of all of the signs Jeroboam continued to disobey God.

What would it take to get our attention? What would have to happen for us to recognize when we need to change and do better? Are we seeing God’s movement and signs in our life?
