“And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. ”
Reflection for Today
Pause with 1 Kings 15:34. Hear these words again: “And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.”
1 Kings is part of the long story of salvation. Catholics receive it as inspired Scripture, a word that prepares the heart for Christ and still nourishes the Church. Scripture rarely flatters us. It loves us enough to tell the truth, and then it stays with us while we learn to live that truth.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of 1 Kings 15:34 remain. Share this verse with someone who needs encouragement, not as advice from above, but as a gift you yourself are trying to live.

Quiet my mind, warm my heart, and help me live what I have heard with faith, hope, and charity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
