About this listen

 SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 340, “Don’t Just Nod at God,” Kim discusses the difference between a life in which one only nods in God’s direction and one wholly committed to the Lord and His purposes. King Jehoahaz looked to God only because the conditions were beyond his control, and he sought God’s help. Just imagine the kingdom impact he could have had if he had wholly surrendered to the Lord instead of just nodding in His direction. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 13:1-9, with 4-6 as the focal verses: 4 Then Jehoahaz prayed for the Lord’s help, and the Lord heard his prayer, for he could see how severely the king of Aram was oppressing Israel. 5 So the Lord provided someone to rescue the Israelites from the tyranny of the Arameans. Then Israel lived in safety again as they had in former days. 6 But they continued to sin, following the evil example of Jeroboam. They also allowed the Asherah pole in Samaria to remain standing. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Consider the impact of a life lived for God versus one who only nodded at God.
