After generations of poor leadership (with a few exceptions), God finally lets the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah fall to the Babylonians in these last few chapters of 2 Kings. God gave them plenty of opportunities to do the right thing, but in the end they chose to trust in things other than God. Our reading in Psalm 91:1 fits nicely with this theme where it says, He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. If the Israelites had followed these words they would not have experienced being conquered and exiled from their land. We would do well to listen to this Psalm as well. If we dwell in the protection of our God, we can rest in knowing He will always protect us.
