1 Kings 16

More bad Kings. The name Zimri became a catchphrase for traitor (much like being called a “Benedict Arnold”.) Israel, already divided from Judah, divided again amongst themselves. Ahab worshiped Ba’al, who was the false god of fertility, weather, rain, wind, lightning, seasons, war, and sailors; and Asherah, who was considered to be the wife of God and mother goddess.

For the first time since King Solomon, we see a king being highly influenced by a pagan wife. (At least just one though, right??😫) Ladies, let’s never underestimate the influence we have over our husband and his walk with God. (Side note—I was minutes ago complaining about my husband to my BFF. #convicted)

Only with your leading can I be a wife that is honoring to You.
