Day 105: POWER, Transition, and Faithfulness in 2 Kings 1-3 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 105 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we dive into 2 Kings 1-3. Elijah confronts King Ahaziah’s idolatry with divine judgment, then ascends to heaven, passing his prophetic mantle to Elisha. Elisha’s miracles signal God’s ongoing presence, affirming His power amid Israel’s wavering faith.

Questions:
1. Elijah’s fiery judgment on Ahaziah’s men in chapter 1 underscores God’s intolerance of idolatry—how does this event deepen our theological understanding of divine holiness, and how might it challenge our response to competing allegiances today?

2. Elijah’s ascension and Elisha’s reception of the spirit in chapter 2 mark a prophetic transition—how does this moment invite us to reflect on the theological continuity of God’s mission through human agents, foreshadowing the Spirit’s empowerment in the New Covenant?

3. Elisha’s miracles in chapter 3, like parting waters and aiding Moab’s defeat, reveal God’s provision—how do these acts prompt us to wrestle with the theological tension between God’s miraculous intervention and His call for trust in ordinary faithfulness?
