1 Kings 16:28 So Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. Then Ahab his son reigned in his place. It seems that the kings got worse every time a new one came to the throne. This would be no exception. Ahab would prove to be evil in so many ways. Pray that … Continue reading

1 Kings 16:27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? Might isn’t always right nor is it a sign of God’s blessing. Pray today that strength and influence will be … Continue reading

1 Kings 16:25-26 Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all who were before him. 26 For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin, provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their … Continue reading

Thursday, August 23, 2018 “What is Right?”
1 Kings 16:21-22 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri. 22 But the people who followed Omri prevailed over the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath.

1 Kings 16:21 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
