In this episode of *Reading the Bible Daily with Dave*, we study 2 Kings 12. King Joash oversaw the repair of the temple with faithful stewardship and integrity. Yet his reforms were incomplete—the high places remained, and in crisis, he stripped the temple's treasures to buy peace with Hazael. This passage warns us of the danger of half-hearted obedience and reminds us that finishing well is just as important as starting well. 🔑 Key Themes: • Faithful stewardship of God's resources • Incomplete reforms and the danger of compromise • Trusting God instead of worldly solutions • Finishing the race in faithfulness ❤️ Christ-Centered Application: Where Joash's reforms were partial, Christ's work is complete. Jesus is the true and final temple, perfectly obedient, calling us to wholehearted devotion.
