Devotional: 2 Chronicles 23:1-21

Today’s passage: 2 Chronicles 23:1-21

Helpful thoughts:

  • The sole heir to the throne and descendant in the Messianic line has been preserved.  The people of Judah, led by the priest Jehoiada, followed the Lord and revolted against Athaliah.
  • When they crowned Joash, they also gave him a copy of the “Testimony,” which is the Word of God.  Every king of Israel was to have written out his own copy to ensure he knew and kept God’s commands.  (Deuteronomy 17:18)
  • Athaliah thought she was accusing the people, but in truth, she spoke of her own guilt.  She was the traitor.

Questions to consider:

  1. Reading this chapter could make all these important changes look simple.  In a way, they were, but often simple changes we need to make become very hard.  Why is it often hard for us to change and grow?  What desires and sins may need to be “put to death” or “torn down” in order for you to move forward in faith and obedience?
  2. In what ways could the events of this day gone differently?  How was God’s faithfulness put on display?
  3. How did the leaders and people of Judah show their obedience and fear of the Lord?  What actions did their faith result in?
