Do you long for justice?

If you’ve been wronged or seen others wronged, you’ll pray that justice will come.

This is why it’s good that God is a fair and righteous judge, and that the day is coming when he will judge the living and the dead.

Yet as we await his return, we see times when God uses the evil of humans to carry out justice.

As we look at the end of 1 Kings 15 and the rest of chapter 16, we’ll see a long line of dreadful kings in the northern tribes of Israel.
