. . . And Repeat

I read: 1 Kings 13-17

Let me break down these chapters for you real quick: Israel and Judah suddenly had a bunch of kings in quick succession and none of them went out of their way to make God happy in the slightest, all but one went out of their way to make them mad, and they did not have very happy or peaceful lives at all.

The moral of the story: do what God wants or your armies will be constantly at war and someone will most likely kill you.

Oh, and if you're a prophet that God told not to eat or drink anything, double-check with God before another prophet says it's okay because you'll be the one eaten by a lion, not him (true story!).
