Ki 11:1  And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

2Ki 11:2  But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

2Ki 11:3  And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

2Ki 11:20  And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.

2Ki 11:21  Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.

The hero in this happening for me was Jehosheba, who risked her own life to save the child that would become king again one day, she did not know when though......

Ordinary people need to make kingly decisions. He who can be trusted with little can be trusted with much more!

The cacoon

My son was collecting silk worms as we have a mulberry tree outside it made things real easy to maintain. Obviously these silkworms eventually form cacoons and things grow extremely quiet. One morning my son comes running through saying his cacoons were being attacked by ants.

This left me puzzled, of all the available food in the kitchen the ants attacked the cacoons ....why? I mean they are heavy, difficult to access etc.

Well this morning many months later while driving to work it dawned on me (Holy Ghost uttering to me) that it could be because of the idleness of the silkworm while in the cacoon. It is the natural instinct for ants to invade and conquer.

So it is too with people. Christians in places of danger dont be caught idle. There are nations that know only how to fight and destroy.
Be on your guard, pray, also be not found unready for flight.
There were many occassions when King David had to run for his life. He was ready for it! He was not destroyed by mans evil hands.

I am waiting for His word.
