Christian Devotional – May 9, 2012

VERSE:
2 Kings 9:7–“You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.”

TRUTH:
The evil that is done by people is not forgotten by God. He sees all and remembers all and all will be brought to judgment for their actions. This is both a hope and a warning. We can take hope in the knowledge that God will avenge the evil done against His Name. We also must be warned that God sees and remembers the evil that we all do and only through the blood of Jesus Christ and by accepting His sacrifice for us will we be saved.

RESPONSE:
Father, I pray that You will be true to Your word and avenge Your Name. I thank You for providing a way of forgiveness for all of us who will seek after You and come to You.
