Monday: 1 Kings 21: 1-29
In this passage, Ahab wanted Naboth's vineyard. He asked Naboth, but he said that the Lord did not say that he could have it and that he was not to give his fathers inheritance away. When Ahab went home, he was depressed so he went to his bed and did not eat. When Jezabelle heard of this she sent two men to got and prosecute Naboth and then bring him up a hill and stone him to death. When this was done, Ahab went to Naboth's vineyard and was about to posses it, when the Lord spoke to Elijahand told him to go and tell Ahab that he is not allowed to have the vineyard. When Elijah got there, he told Ahab everything the Lord had told him, but Jezabelle was not pleased with his answer and so they took the land. Then they became the food to the wild dogs and their warning became true. Justice is important, but i would rather lose knowing that God intented for me to, rather then win, knowing that God had better in store for me... I have no rite to say anything dealing with justice because who are we to judge? God is the judge and we need to be silent and let him do his job. :)
