You test every foothold climbing a high cliff, then treat the wet stones in the river as if they could never give way. First and Second Kings answers why a people God rescued ended in exile—the land lost, the temple burned—not through one spectacular leap, but along a path of small, everyday compromises measured “in the eyes of the Lord.”
Don’t let disappointment steal the hope you have in God. In His last days, Jesus experience disappointment when what was best was traded for what is less. However, these disappointments can create divine appointments with God.
