1 Kings, Chapter 14 - God Sees The Heart | Prophets of Israel Daily

What do you run to when everything falls apart, and what does that reveal about what you really believe? 1 Kings 14 is a powerful chapter about idolatry, consequences, and the difference between appearing holy and actually having a faithful heart. As Jeroboam’s son lies dying, a desperate king runs back to the true God he publicly abandoned, while Judah, despite having Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Davidic throne, falls deeper into idolatry. In this chapter of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the painful and revealing lessons of 1 Kings 14: Jeroboam's disguise, the prophecy of Ahijah, the mysterious goodness found in his dying son, Judah's idolatry, and the devastating image of Solomon's golden shields being replaced with bronze. At the heart of the chapter is a sobering message: God is not fooled by appearances. He see the heart.
