Yesterday we heard the conclusion of Rehoboam’s reign, and the writer classed him as a wicked king. Then his son, King Abijah gave a truly amazing speech before his epic victory over Israel.

Today I chose to highlight two verses:
5Every word of God proves true.
He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
6Do not add to his words,
or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.

How ironic that the religious leaders would make a problem about picking and eating a few heads of wheat or healing a man with a word on the Sabbath, then on the Sabbath they went out and plotted to kill Jesus. That, is the kind of work that God forbids, not just on the Sabbath but any day of the week! Note that this wasn’t casual opposition.
Translation note:
1 At about that time Jesus was walking through some grainfields on the Sabbath. [We, ] His disciples were hungry, so they began breaking off some heads of grain and eating them.
17This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him: [where God said]
29 For who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man like Satan and plunder his goods? Only someone [like Me, who is] even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.
