Humble Yourself Like Ahab

Posted by Wes Schaeffer | June 14, 2022

From today’s reading...

Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, ‘Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Since he has humbled himself before me, I shall not bring the disaster in his days; I shall bring the disaster down on his House in his son’s days.’” 1 Kings 21:28-29

Ahab and his wife messed up, which angered God, so He sent Elijah to let Ahab know not only his fate but the fate of his descendants and how the dogs of the city and the birds of the fields would eat their rotting corpses!

(God was more than a little upset.)

Ahab was a rotten dude.

“And indeed there never was anyone like Ahab for double dealing and for doing what is displeasing to Yahweh, urged on by Jezebel his wife. He behaved in the most abominable way, adhering to idols, just as the Amorites had, whom Yahweh had dispossessed for the Israelites” (v25-26).

But Ahab repented, and God showed him mercy.

You’re not as bad as Ahab, so repent and get right with God, which is the only way to...

Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.

Now go sell something.
