1 Kings 13 - 15

I set aside 15 minutes to read these chapters.  This is the beginning of the brief histories of the kings of Israel and Judah.  Many of the stories are terribly sad because they show how easily good people are led away from following God.  It shows us that while God is pursuing after us to show us His love, we have an enemy who is pursuing us as well.  His weapons of war are lies and fabrications that look attractive.  But we learn that they are empty and meaningless, and lead only to loneliness and death.  The same fate that awaits Satan.
