King Ahaziah starts with a flip by ignoring the word of God like his father, King Ahab, but later flops by fighting and resisting the Word of God, like his mother, Queen Jezebel.   There are three alternatives when we face the Scriptures, we ignore God’s word, we resist God’s word, or we love God’s word by submission and obedience.  Our fruitfulness and effectiveness for the Lord will depend on the effect that the word of God has on us.  Other passage mentioned: Psalm 1.
