“Now the Lord said to Ahijah, ‘Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her, for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.‘” 1 Kings 14:5
“And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, ‘Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news.'” 1 Kings 14:6
No matter who we may pretend to be, Jesus knows the real us.
Thank You, Lord, for meeting us right where we are with the Good news of grace and salvation. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Good News
There’s no use pretending –
You see me as I am
filthy, sin ridden
still You did not stay Your hand
but reached out to me
in my deep and desperate need
knowing I was going to die
instead You died for me.
