Life is full of mountains and valleys. One day we’re standing on the mountaintop, taking in the view and thanking God for how good life feels. The next, we’re walking through a valley we never saw coming, wondering how we got here and how we’ll ever make it through. That’s life. No one gets a permanent address on the mountaintop, and no one stays in the valley forever. We all experience seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow, seasons of abundance and seasons of struggle. There are moments when we feel strong, confident, and full of faith, and there are moments when we’re tired, discouraged, and simply trying to take the next step. The mountains and the valleys are both part of the journey. Does this mean we hate the valleys and only live for the mountaintops? If so, we’re wasting much of our lives. It’s like the person who chooses misery all week long and only lives for the weekend. Or the person who is continually chasing greener grass, only to get there and find it’s always greener somewhere else. They’re waiting for life to begin when life has been happening all along. Sometimes I wonder if we’re guilty of doing the same thing spiritually. We endure the valleys and merely survive them while we wait for God to get us back to the mountain. We decide the mountaintop is where God is blessing us and the valley is where he’s forgotten us. We assume one is good and one is bad. But what if we’re wrong? What if God never intended for us to love one and despise the other? What if he designed both? God is in control of all things, so why does he allow these low valleys in life? Why doesn’t he take us to the mountaintop experiences and let us stay there? Why not total bliss all the time? Why can’t everything just be good and stay good? My husband and I have often joked over the years of raising three kids that when the rare moment comes along when all three are doing great at the same time—with no problems—we hold our breath. Experience has taught us it doesn’t last long. It’s our mountaintop. It’s bliss. It’s rare. We know we’re here, but we also know we probably don’t get to stay here. Before long, back down into the valley we’ll go with at least one of them. Have you ever noticed that’s the way life seems to work? We just can’t keep things at their very best for very long. The job is good, then the job is hard. The marriage is happy, then the marriage is struggling. Our bodies are healthy, then suddenly they aren’t. The bank account is full, then an unexpected expense arrives. We finally catch our breath, and then life takes it away again. The mountains are beautiful, but they’re temporary. The valleys are difficult, but they’re temporary too. And that’s not a flaw in God’s design. It’s part of it. If mountaintops became permanent, we would begin to worship the view instead of the God who brought us there. If valleys never came, we would never learn surrender and trust. The mountain gives us perspective, but the valley gives us depth. God has never promised us a life of uninterrupted mountaintops. What he has promised is something far better—His uninterrupted presence. He’s God on the mountain, and he’s God in the valley. He isn’t waiting for you at the top. He’s walking with you wherever you are. And perhaps that’s the invitation—not to spend our lives trying to escape the valleys or cling to the mountains, but to learn to look for God in both. 1 Kings 20:28, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD.” If you just pluck this one scripture out, it won’t make sense. So, let’s study the context and see what God is telling us. Israel are God’s people who seek him and trust him. They have enemies constantly trying to defeat them. One of those enemies is the kingdom of Aram who’s King is Ben-Hadad. The Arameans greatly outnumbered the Israelites, yet the Israelites had just defeated them in battle. As the Aramenas were trying to understand their battle and how they could have lost to an army so beneath them, they came to the conclusion it was because of the Israelites’ God. Verse 23, they said “Their gods are gods of the mountains. That is why they were too strong for us. But if we fight them in the valleys, surely we will be stronger than them.” With that in mind, the Arameans planned their next attack on God’s people in a valley. A valley, a low spot, where the Israelites’ mountaintop God would have no reign and no power. They didn’t doubt God’s existence, they doubted his authority over both the mountain and the valley. BUT THEY WERE WRONG! Our LORD isn’t just a mountaintop God. He’s not limited by good experiences and positive outcomes. He’s not just in the highs – he’s in the lows. His jurisdiction is not limited by location or circumstance. And this is why the LORD said in verse 28, “Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD.” Essentially God is saying, “You’ve seen me work on the mountain, NOW WATCH ME WORK IN THE LOW VALLEYS TOO!” This is a lesson not only for the enemy, but for God’s people. “Stop thinking I will only give you victory up here, I can work in the lows too!” This was more than God winning a battle, this was God revealing himself. What? You think God has boundaries? You think there’s somewhere he doesn’t rule? Somewhere out of his reach? Somewhere his power isn’t effective? Something too hard or too big and beyond his dominion? You think there’s a place God can’t give victory. GIRL, JUST WATCH HIM. Today, we often live exactly as the Aramean’s who thought God was only the God of the mountain. We believe: God is with me when my marriage is good! God is with me when my body is healthy! God is with me when the money is there! God is with me when all the kids are doing well! God is with me when my prayers are answered! Yes, he’s with me … I can see him … look at all this goodness in my life! I’m on the mountaintop! But life doesn’t stay there, and soon we’re in a low valley and we begin asking: Where is God? Why isn’t he helping me? Has he left me? Did I do something wrong? Is he punishing me with this deep dark valley of hardship and struggle? And really what we’re wondering is if God stayed on the mountain and he’s not with us in the valley. But I want to give you one memorable fact that will stay with you forever. NOTHING GROWS ON THE MOUNTAINTOP. Have you ever climbed a really tall mountain – I’m talking a legit mountain. Have you noticed the higher you go, the thinner the air gets. And as you continue the climb, it just becomes rocky. No trees. No fruit. No grass. No flowers. The view is remarkable and it feels great to stand on top of the mountain, but NOTHING GROWS UP THERE. That, my friends, is life. You don’t grow in your moutaintop moments. When everything is so perfectly good, you’re not growing. And that’s why God doesn’t leave you up there. He lovingly brings you back down to the valley because in the valley is where YOU GROW! Trees grow in the valley. Fruit is produced in the valley. Flowers are in abundance in the valley. It’s the low places where we grow. I find it interesting that God could have simply prevented the second battle altogether. Instead, He allowed Israel to go right back into another fight. Why? Because there was something about Himself He wanted revealed that could only be revealed in the valley. God isn’t better on the mountain. He’s simply different there. The mountain may reveal His majesty, but the valley reveals His faithfulness. What God is showing us is regardless of the place we are in life, regardless of the highs and lows, he is the LORD over every place. Just as the mountain doesn’t make him God, neither do the valleys of life diminish him. He is just as present, just as powerful, and just as soverign in the lowest and hardest of valleys in your life as he is on the highest and most victorious mountain. I have a beautiful friend currently battling a relentless and ugly cancer. This cancer has dragged her through one heck of a dark valley. But here in this valley, she has discovered God’s presence unlike ever before. She has learned He is her only hope. She has learned peace that doesn’t make sense. She has learned full surrender and unwavering faith. That’s what valleys do to us, and I have to believe that’s one of the reasons God allows them. He reveals Himself in such personal and powerful ways. Perhaps her mountaintop moments will come and she will stand whole, healthy, and healed with a long, beautiful life ahead of her. Oh, how I pray she experiences that. But here’s what I know—she won’t grow up there. She’s growing down here. And maybe that’s why God doesn’t allow us to permanently live on the mountaintops. We would enjoy him there, but we wouldn’t NEED him there. We would celebrate him there, but we wouldn’t CLING to him there. It is in the valley where we discover he really is enough. It’s in the valley where we learn he wasn’t kidding when he said he would never leave us or forsake us. It’s in the valley where we find his strength made perfect in our weakness. It’s in the valley where we discover his peace isn’t dependent on our circumstances and his goodness isn’t diminished by our suffering. Mountaintops are where we often celebrate God. Valleys are where we come to know him. So perhaps we’ve had it wrong all along. Perhaps the goal isn’t to spend our lives desperately trying to escape the valleys and cling to the mountains. Perhaps the goal is to stop asking, “How do I get out of here?” long enough to ask, “Lord, what are You revealing here?” Because He’s still the LORD here. The valley has never been outside of his jurisdiction. It has never been beyond his reach. It has never been beneath his attention. And just as He told the Arameans thousands of years ago, I believe he is still saying to his people today, “You think you’ve seen me work before? Just watch me work here too.” So, if you find yourself standing on a mountaintop today, breathe it in. Thank him for the view. Celebrate the joy. Receive it as a gift. And if you find yourself in a valley today, don’t despise it. Don’t assume you’ve been abandoned there. Don’t waste this season merely trying to survive it. Look for him there. Because he isn’t just waiting for you on the next mountaintop. He’s already standing beside you in the valley. He is the LORD of both. Don’t spend your life trying to escape the valleys or trying to cling to the mountains, but learn to look for God in both.

In our last reading, we left off with two kings, King Baasha, who has just become king over Israel, and king Asa, who has ruled over Judah for three years at the time of Baasha's ascension to the throne. Baasha became king by force, killing Jeroboam's son Nadab as well as the rest of Jeroboam's family. Take note of the rotating door of kings who rule over Israel, leading up to King Ahab, who is incredibly wicked. Not only that, you'll also notice how long Asa rules in faithfulness to the Lord while Israel's kings come and go. Later in 2 Chronicles, we'll hear the account of Baasha declaring war against Asa, who fails to trust in the Lord, and calls upon the king of Aram instead. 1 Kings 16 - 1:07 . 2 Chronicles 16 - 8:13 . 2 Chronicles 17 - 11:13 .

You didn't change a thing, but the scale keeps climbing, and it's all landing on your belly. In this episode, we discuss what's going on now that you're in perimenopause and menopause.Andrea Donsky, 7x published menopause researcher, author, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorpus.com, sits down with online health coach Aram Grigorian, who has spent 17 years helping women 35 and older change their body composition without the shame, the crash diets, or the thousand-dollar programs. This one is candid (heads up, there's some swearing), and it cuts through the noise you've been drowning in since your symptoms started.Aram and Andrea get into why fat starts settling around your middle in perimenopause, why "eat less, move more" is technically true but nearly useless without a system, and the uncomfortable truth that a lot of women are actually eating too little to lose weight. They also talk honestly about alcohol, sleep, muscle, and why the number of calories you can eat has more to do with muscle than motivation.What you'll learn:Why perimenopause belly fat happens (and why it shows up now when it didn't in your 20s)The difference between weight gain and fat gain, and how you can drop or add 15 pounds in 72 hours without gaining an ounce of fatWhy your doctor's "just eat less and exercise more" advice keeps failing youHow much alcohol is really costing you in sleep, recovery, and caloriesWhy eating too little can stall your weight loss, and how to figure out how many calories you actually needChapters:0:00 Intro: Meet Andrea and Guest Aram Grigorian2:25 Why Women Aren't Broken: Aram's Story6:30 Why Perimenopause Weight Goes to Your Belly12:00 Weight Gain vs Fat Gain: The 15-Pound Water Weight Swing17:30 "Eat Less, Move More" and Being Dismissed by Your Doctor24:30 Alcohol, Sleep, and Your Menopause Weight32:00 Why Eating Too Little Stalls Your Weight Loss39:00 Muscle, Body Fat, and How Many Calories You Really Need45:30 Body Image, Mindset, and Getting Your Partner On Board51:30 What You Can Actually Control (Plus Where to Find Aram)Learn more about Aram: https://www.instagram.com/4weeks2thebeachListen to Andrea's interview on Aram's Podcast 211.

COMMENTAIRE DE LA 1ère LECTURE DU JOURIs 7, 1-9Au temps d'Acaz, roi de Juda, Recine, roi d'Aram, et Pékah, fils de Remalyahou, roi d'Israël, montèrent contre Jérusalem pour l'attaquer, mais ils ne purent lui donner l'assaut. On informa la maison de David que les Araméens avaient pris position en Éphraïm. Alors le cœur du roi et le cœur de son peuple furent secoués comme les arbres de la forêt sont secoués par le vent. Le Seigneur dit alors à Isaïe : « Avec ton fils Shear-Yashoub (c'est-à-dire : “Un-reste-reviendra”), va trouver Acaz, au bout du canal du réservoir supérieur, sur la route du Champ-du-Foulon. Tu lui diras : “Garde ton calme, ne crains pas, ne va pas perdre cœur devant ces deux bouts de tisons fumants, à cause de la colère brûlante du roi d'Aram et du roi d'Israël, Oui, Aram a décidé ta perte, en accord avec Éphraïm et son roi. Ils se sont dit : Marchons contre le royaume de Juda, pour l'intimider, et nous le forcerons à se rendre ; alors, nous lui imposerons comme roi le fils de Tabéel. Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu : Cela ne durera pas, ne sera pas, que la capitale d'Aram soit Damas, et Recine, le chef de Damas, que la capitale d'Éphraïm soit Samarie, et le fils de Remalyahou, chef de Samarie. – Dans soixante-cinq ans, Éphraïm, écrasé, cessera d'être un peuple. Mais vous, si vous ne croyez pas, vous ne pourrez pas tenir.” »

You have read these stories your whole life in English, and the entire time, something was missing. The first two words of the Bible echo each other. Names carry hidden meanings.Foreigners speak with an accent built right into the grammar. And buried inside the Exodus is a quiet, devastating attack on the most sacred belief in all of ancient Egypt. None of it survives translation, and almost no one has ever been told it was there.In this episode, Pastor Johnny Ova sits down with Prof. Gary Rendsburg, one of the foremost Hebrew scholars in the world, to reveal the staggering craft the biblical authors engineered into every line of Scripture. Wordplay. Puns on names. Sound patterns shaped for the ear of a listening audience. A character whose Hebrew breaks apart on the page in the middle of his panic. A lost northern dialect hiding in plain sight. And an Exodus narrative that quietly dismantles the theology of ancient Egypt. By the end, you will understand exactly why this text was built to be heard out loud.Prof. Gary Rendsburg is a Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University and the Blanche and Irving Laurie Chair of Jewish History. The author of seven books and nearly 230 articles, he is the scholar most associated with uncovering regional dialects inside biblical Hebrew, and his book How the Bible Is Written is the definitive guide to the literary machinery running underneath the text we read in translation.In this episode you will learn:How the first two words of Genesis echo each other in Hebrew, and what English readers lose instantlyWhy the biblical authors loaded names like Isaac, Jacob, and Moses with hidden meaningThe proof inside Isaiah 29 that these texts were performed aloud, not read in silenceHow Reuben's broken, confused Hebrew drops you into the mind of a terrified manThe northern dialect Prof. Rendsburg identified hiding inside the pages of the BibleWhy the story of Jacob in Aram is written in Hebrew deliberately flavored with AramaicWhat sitting with thousand year old manuscripts from the Cairo Geniza teaches that a printed Bible never couldHow the Exodus narrative quietly attacks the core theology of ancient EgyptWhat "Pharaoh's heart was heavy" actually meant to an audience that knew the Book of the DeadWhere to begin recovering this artistry even if you never learn a word of HebrewHow the Bible Is Written (Amazon):https://www.amazon.com/How-Bible-Written-Gary-Rendsburg/dp/1683071972Prof. Rendsburg's Faculty Page:https://jewishstudies.rutgers.edu/people/core-faculty/gary-a-rendsburgStay Connected with Johnny Ova and The Dig In Podcast:Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow all things Johnny:https://johnnyova.comGrab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset:https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

Daily Dose of Hope July 13, 2026 Scripture: 2 Kings 9 Prayer: Lord, It's easy to read about these sinful kings from long ago and think we are so much better. Forgive us, for I know we are kidding ourselves. Help us not indulge in such arrogant assumptions. Search our hearts, Lord, and cleanse us. Reveal to us how to live our lives in ways that honor you. Help us seek holiness in all we do. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. This summer, we have been working our way through 1 & 2 Kings. Today, we read 2 Kings 9. When Elijah died, there were a few things that God asked him to do that were left unfinished. Thus, it fell to Elisha to complete these tasks. In 1 Kings 19, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, telling him to anoint Elisha to take his place as prophet of Israel (this occurs later 1 Kings 19) and anoint Hazael king over Aram. Elisha ends up completing this in 2 Kings 8. He was also to anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi king over Israel. Finally, Elijah prophesies that Ahab and Jezebel will both be killed and that the lineage of Ahab will be obliterated. In today's chapter, Elisha finishes up the given tasks. Jehu was a commander in King Ahab's army. Elisha instructs a younger prophet to head to Jehu's camp in Ramoth Gilead (not sure why Elisha doesn't do this himself except that he may have been noticed too easily). Once there, the prophet was to inform Jehu that he would indeed become the next king of Israel and that this would happen in order to put an end Ahab's line. The prophet announces this to the commander and then exits, leaving Jehu to figure out how this might occur. It appears he doesn't think too long about it because he actively seeks out King Joram (in the line of Ahab) and assassinates him. Both Israel and Judah were at war with Aram. When Jehu finds King Joram of Israel, King Ahaziah of Judah was with him. With no hesitation, Jehu kills them both with his bow. This means that both nations are stripped of their leaders, creating a dangerous power vacuum. At the end of the chapter, Jezebel is also killed and her body is eaten by the wild dogs, so badly marred that she could not receive a proper burial. And it is done, the prophecy is fulfilled. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope July 9, 2026 Scripture: 2 Kings 7 Prayer: Lord God Almighty, You have given us everything. Not only did you create the world, but you created us. Everything we have is a gift from you. Forgive us for when we begin to think that things are "ours." Soften our hearts. Help us become more generous. Lord, I give you my whole self. I want to offer myself as a living sacrifice; may I be pleasing in your sight. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. We have been working our way through the Old Testament books of 1 & 2 Kings this summer. Today, our reading is 2 Kings 7. At the end of yesterday's chapter, we read about how the king of Aram and his large army laid siege to Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. This led to a famine and a great deal of anguish among the people. People were desperate, going so far as to resort to cannibalism. The king of Israel is horribly distraught and seeks out the prophet Elisha. At the beginning of today's chapter, we hear the prophet's response. Elisha says that the Lord has spoken and that by that time tomorrow, there will be fine flour and barley available at affordable prices. The officer who was present with the king was highly skeptical and you can see his response. He says, "...even if the Lord should open the floodgates of heavens, could this happen?" Elisha declares that it will but that because of his cynicism and lack of faith, he wouldn't get to enjoy any of it. As we read through the chapter, we begin to see how God takes care of the situation. The Aramean army is scared off and the Israelites get to enjoy the plunder. Food becomes readily available and the siege is over. Once again, the Lord has spoken through Elisha. Over the next few days, we will continue to see Elisha at work. What's fascinating to me is that Elisha served as prophet of Israel for six decades. His words were often unpopular and not always heeded, but he persevered. It takes a strong person to be a prophet. I wanted to mention that God is still giving people the gift of prophecy; certain people bring a message from God to his people. Just like in Old Testament days, prophets are often ignored, maligned, and/or pushed to the fringes. The reality is that rarely do prophets bring a message of approval. They typically bring a word from God that challenges the faith community and the religious leaders. I have known several people with the gift of prophecy and they typically have a difficult time finding a church that accepts them. Have you known someone with this gift? What's been your reaction to it? If you haven't known a prophet, how do you think you might respond? How does reading about Elijah and Elisha affect your view of prophets? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope July 8, 2026 Scripture: 2 Kings 6 Prayer: Holy God, We rejoice and give praise for the ways you care for us. We rejoice and give praise for how you continue to forgive us and give us second and third chances. Help us seek lives characterized by your holiness. Help us seek pure hearts. Lord, in these next few moments of silence, hear our prayers and help us bring together all our scattered thoughts and focus on you...It's in your name we pray, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. We are currently working our way through 2 Kings. Today, our reading is 2 Kings 6. In this chapter, we see God continue to do miracles through the prophet Elisha. It appears that Elisha has developed a much more amicable relationship with the king of Israel. When Aram went to war with Israel, Elisha used his prophetic skills to warn the king of Israel when harm was eminent so he could be on guard. Not surprisingly, this frustrated the king of Aram who suspected he had a spy in his ranks. But one of his officers knew that it was in fact Elisha who was providing the king of Israel with the information he needed to protect himself. Thus, the army of Aram is sent to capture Elisha. Later in the chapter, the army of Aram has surrounded the town of Dothan, where Elisha was living in order to capture him. Elisha prays to the Lord, asking for the army to be struck with blindness and God does it. This allows Elisha to lead the army out of Dothan and into Samaria. Once in Samaria, the soldiers' sight returns. The king of Israel asks Elisha if the men should be killed. But Elisha wants to show them mercy, so the king feeds them and sends them back home. Some reflections from today's text: · When in doubt, show mercy. God is a merciful God. We are called to be merciful people. · Err on the side of grace. We've been shown immense grace; let's be sure to demonstrate it toothers. · Believe that God is on your side. Your God loves you and wants the best for you. Trust in that. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In this Bible Story, we see Elisha avoid the wrath of the armies of Aram. The Lord confuses them, and lures them into a trap by blinding them to the identity of Elisha. He leads them into the capital of Israel, where they are at the mercy of the king's army. However, instead of killing them they show mercy. As a result, Aram and Israel live at peace with one another. This story is inspired by 2 Kings 6:8-23. Go to https://www.BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Kings 6:14 from the King James Version.Episode 135: After a brief moment of peace and prosperity for Israel, they were once again thrust into turmoil as Ben-Hedad besieged the city causing severe famine for Samaria. Food became so scarce that women were eating their children. Furious, the King sent for Elisha to be killed. When the King's Commander arrived to lure him out, he received word from Elisha of God's miraculous deliverance. But, the Commander did not believe the Words of God, and so he would not live to enjoy the blessing.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Daily Dose of Hope July 7, 2026 Scripture: 2 Kings 5 Prayer: Jesus, Oh, how we need you! We need you to work within us and through us. Change our hearts, O Lord, so that we can bring glory to you. More of you, less of me. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church Bible reading plan. We are currently working our way through 2 Kings. Today's reading is 2 Kings 5. The chapter begins with Naaman, a decorated military hero who is afflicted with leprosy. Leprosy in those days was horribly isolating. In the Old Testament, leprosy is mentioned 55 times but really included a wide variety of different infection skin diseases. Naaman, who is from Aram (modern day Syria), is told by a servant girl that there is a man of God in Israel who could cure him. As we read, he goes to Israel and meets the prophet Elisha who gives him a method to be cured. Naaman is more than a bit arrogant and is appalled that Elisha doesn't come out to greet him and give him some elaborate healing presentation. It's interesting that Naaman almost misses his healing because of his arrogance and pride. He thought he deserved some big deal ceremony, when really all he needed to do was be obedient. I hope he was grateful for his own servants who encouraged him to go ahead and follow Elisha's instructions to bathe in the Jordan River seven times. How often does our own arrogance and pride keep us from missing God's blessing in our lives? Naaman is incredibly grateful for his healing, he recognizes the power of God, and wants to give Elisha all kinds of valuable gifts. Elisha, in typical true man of God fashion, declines. But Elisha's servant, Gehazi, overhears and decides he is going to get rich off the whole situation. Maybe Elisha doesn't want Naaman's gifts but he does! By this time, Naaman is traveling home. So Gehazi runs out to him and makes up a story about some prophets who need a talent of silver and two changes of clothes. Naaman, of course, gives him the supplies. Elisha knows exactly what happens and he severely scolds Gehazi when he returns. I don't know, I kind of feel sorry for the guy. He was probably very poor. But he did lie and he betrayed Elisha. Thus, the leprosy that Naaman had was given to Gehazi. Tough justice. Greed does not pay. I would love some of your thoughts on this story. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
In this Bible Story, we learn of Naaman's new found love for God and desire to bless the people of God. However, Elisha's servant Gehazi's heart changes for the worse, as he descends into a cycle of greed and treachery. This story is inspired by 2 Kings 5:15-27. Go to https://www.BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Kings 5:27 from the King James Version.Episode 134: Israel was at war once again, this time against the King of Aram. However, the God of Israel, who knows all, would inform Elisha of what the King of Aram was planning and Elisha would, in turn, inform his King. This constant outmaneuvering irritated the King of Aram and he sent soldiers to hunt for Elisha. When the army of Aram arrived at Dothan they surrounded Elisha and his servant. But Elisha was unafraid because He could see the armies of heaven surrounding the armies of Aram. So he prayed and God delivered the men of Aram into Samaria, the land of their enemy. But instead of bloodshed, they were given a feast, and God's mercy was revealed to the nations.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 6 Juli 2026Bacaan: Lalu berkatalah yang seorang kepada yang lain: "Tidak patut yang kita lakukan ini. Hari ini ialah hari kabar baik, tetapi kita ini tinggal diam saja. Apabila kita menanti sampai terang pagi, maka hukuman akan menimpa kita. Jadi sekarang, marilah kita pergi menghadap untuk memberitahukan hal itu ke istana raja." (2 Raja-raja 7:9)Renungan: Di zaman Israel kuno, salah satu penyakit yang paling ditakuti adalah kusta. Mengapa? Karena penyakit ini tak hanya memberikan rasa sakit secara fisik, tapi juga menyerang mental penderitanya. Bagaimana tidak? Orang kusta akan dicap sebagai orang yang kena tulah dan dikutuk Allah. Orang kusta juga diasingkan dan begitu direndahkan. Bacaan kita hari ini sungguh menarik untuk kita renungkan. Orang kusta yang selama ini diremehkan justru menjadi pahlawan Israel. Sementara rakyat Israel mengalami kelaparan hebat, orang-orang kusta inilah yang memberi tahu mereka bahwa tentara Aram sudah meninggalkan perkemahannya dan meninggalkan banyak perbekalan. Padahal bisa saja orang-orang kusta itu "balas dendam" dan membiarkan rakyat Israel kelaparan sementara mereka bisa menikmati makanan secara berlimpah. Bisa kita bayangkan betapa malunya rakyat Israel saat mengetahui bahwa orang-orang kusta inilah yang menolong mereka dengan mengabarkan berita baik itu. Orang-orang yang selama ini mereka rendahkan justru menjadi pahlawan bagi mereka. Apa yang bisa kita pelajari dari kisah ini? Janganlah kita suka meremehkan, merendahkan, melakukan hal yang jahat, atau memusuhi seseorang. Kita tidak pernah tahu bahwa orang yang kita jahati adalah orang yang kelak kita mintai pertolongan! Bayangkan betapa malunya kita jika hal itu sampai terjadi. Lebih malu lagi kalau orang itu bersedia menolong kita! Orang yang kita remehkan, bisa saja kelak menjadi orang terhormat. Orang yang kita anggap bawahan, bisa saja menjadi atasan kita. Orang yang kita sangka buruk, bisa saja ternyata adalah orang baik yang tidak pernah memamerkan kebaikannya. Orang yang kita jahati, bisa saja orang itu membalasnya dengan berbuat baik kepada kita. Karena itu marilah kita tidak jemu-jemu berbuat baik kepada setiap orang. Singkirkan prasangka-prasangka dan penilaian lahiriah yang nyatanya sering terbukti salah itu. Kita tidak pernah tahu bahwa kita sedang menabur kebaikan yang suatu kali kelak akan kita tuai pada waktu yang tepat. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, berilah aku hati seperti hati-Mu. Hati yang bisa menerima setiap orang apa adanya dan tidak menganggap rendah mereka. Amin. (Dod).

Daily Dose of Hope June 30, 2026 Scripture: 1 Kings 22 Prayer: Amazing God, thank you for giving us life in Christ Jesus. We ask you to continue to strengthen us in Jesus Christ, driving roots deep into the soil of who he is, your Son. May the Holy Spirit well up thankfulness in our hearts to overflowing every day. Thanks be to God through Christ Jesus. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. This summer, we've been working our way through 1 & 2 Kings. Today, we have come to the final chapter in the book of 1 Kings. You made it! While the story is far from over, I hope these past few weeks have been insightful for you. These Old Testament passages are filled with truth, sometimes really hard truth, but well worth our time digesting them and allowing God to speak to us through them. Today's reading is chapter 22. In it, we find Ahab, king of Israel, forming an alliance with Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, in order to go to war with Syria (Aram) over the region of Ramoth Gilead. In an effort to ensure they would win, they seek the guidance from the prophets of Israel. Ahab quickly summons four hundred prophets who claim to speak for Yahweh and enthusiastically proclaim that God will guarantee their victory. Jehoshaphat is a bit wary of these four hundred prophets, as they were most certainly on King Ahab's payroll and willing to say whatever pleased the king. King Jehoshaphat asked for a true prophet of the Lord. Ahab is hesitant but has Micaiah summoned to prophecy on the topic as well. Ahab actually says he hates Micaiah because he never says anything good about him. Rather than take this to heart and consider there may be an issue with his own actions, he simply blames Micaiah. Interestingly, Micaiah prophecies victory for Israel and Judah over Aram but also that Ahab would be killed in battle. Ahab, with his typical arrogance, dismisses Micaiah with anger but is indeed killed in the battle. 2 Chronicles 18 tells the same story from a slightly different angle. How often do we surround ourselves with people who will tell us what we want to hear? Obviously, Ahab made a habit of this. He liked his paid prophets because they petted his ego and agreed with him. They didn't call him out on his behavior or idolatry. Micaiah, on the other hand, told it like it was. I'm wondering if we sometimes do the same. We hang out with people who tell us what we want to hear or think exactly like we do. We listen to news and podcasts that reinforce our own ideas. Do we allow ourselves to be challenged? I can't help but think that's the importance of constantly digging into God's Word and spending lots of time in prayer. We need to listen to God so God can share his truth with us. Sometimes this truth will reinforce what we know or be exactly what we want to hear. Other times, it will be hard truth that convicts us and points us in another direction. But this is how God stretches us, grows us, and helps us better reflect Jesus. Do you allow God to challenge and convict you and how? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Today, we'll hear the account of King Joash, the infant heir to the throne who was rescued from a royal slaughter and raised in the temple of God. With guidance from Jehoiada the priest, Joash is inaugurated as a child king over Judah, and he begins the work of repairing the temple. Hazael has become the king of Aram just as Elisha had prophesied, and the army of Jehoahaz, king of Israel is almost completely wiped out. Jehoahaz's son Jehoash visits Elisha before he dies of illness, where Elisha has a final prophecy for Israel's king. 2 Kings 11 - 1:12 . 2 Kings 12 - 5:51 . 2 Kings 13 - 11:07 .

In today's episode, Elisha acts through messengers and servants to accomplish kingdom-altering acts. First, the king of Aram sends his servant Hazael to ask Elisha if the king will recover from his sickness. While speaking with him about the matter, Elisha sees Hazael's future, which one of terrible power and destruction. Later, Elisha sends a young prophet to anoint Jehu, an army commander, to be king over Israel. With a number of cunning strategies, Jehu overthrows the house of Ahab, kills Jezebel, the prophets of a Baal, and avenges the blood of Naboth the Gileadite on behalf of the Lord, who predicted Ahab's fall through Elijah. 2 Kings 8 - 1:11 . 2 Kings 9 - 8:32 . 2 Kings 10 - 18:28 .

“When You Pass Through The Waters”2 Kings 5:1-19a1 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.[a]2 Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman's wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents[b] of silver, six thousand shekels[c] of gold and ten sets of clothing. 6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his robes and said, “Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!”8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha's house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”11 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.13 Naaman's servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed'!” 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”16 The prophet answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.” And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.17 “If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much earth as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the Lord. 18 But may the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”19 “Go in peace,” Elisha said.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

In our last episode, Ahab struck a deal with Ben-Hadad, the king of Aram instead of destroying him, but because the Lord had set him apart for destruction, an unnamed prophet pronounces judgment on Ahab. Some time passes, and Ahab sets his sights on a field that belongs to another man. After he refuses to sell it, Ahab pouts in his room until Jezebel hatches a scheme to murder him and take his land. Elijah appears to prophecy his demise, and remarkably, Ahab responds with humility. Later, the prophet Micaiah shares a vision of the Lord's throne room where God permits a lying spirit to bring about Ahab's demise. 1 Kings 21 – 1:07 . 1 Kings 22 – 7:42 .

After experiencing the power and authority of the God of Israel on top of Mount Carmel, where fire fell from heaven to consume Elijah's sacrifice, the prophet runs to Jezreel ahead of King Ahab. Upon hearing Jezebel's threats to execute him, Elijah then flees in despair to a distant mountaintop. Later, King Ahab of Israel goes to battle with Ben-Hadad of Aram. The Lord sends an unnamed prophet to alert Ahab that the Lord will win the battle for Israel so that Ahab will know that He alone is God over the whole earth. Then, when Ahab disobeys the Lord's command and spares Ben-Hadad instead of destroying him, the Lord sends another unnamed prophet to pronounce judgment. 1 Kings 19 – 1:09 . 1 Kings 20 – 6:35 .
