#soap # 2 Kings 21 ## Title: God Knows How to Get Things Done ## Scripture: (2 Kings 21:24) “The people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.” (NET) ## Observation: There is this form of believing in God called Deism. It is the belief that there is a God and He created all things, but He is not actively involved in His creation. He sits back and lets it all play out. Almost like a child with an ant farm. Theism says there is a God but He is personally and actively involved in all He has made. Some people unwittingly believe in Deism. They don’t think God can do anything about what He has made and His hands are tied. This is not true at all. God intervenes when He sees fit and, when it is time to intervene, He has a million ways to do so. The kings are not seeking justice. The priests are not seeking justice. So, God raises up regular folks who had had enough. God can bring about deliverance from the most unlikely places. You can trust Him. He might be wanting to use you! ## Application: Seek God’s justice. Trust the Lord. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being trustworthy.
