These daily online studies are adapted from our Quiet Time Bible Guide. The studies go through the Old and New Testaments in just over two years. The approach taken by our quiet time Bible studies does not include answers. The goal of the study is to help you dig into Scripture for yourself. You can go deeper using a commentary, Bible background guide or Bible handbook.
For more context before you begin studying, read this introduction to the book of 2 Kings.
Our society is locked in a longstanding identity crisis. From the troubled teen years beset with self-image problems to the midlife crisis and beyond, many of those around us do not know who they are. After the Sunday message many Christians walk out into the world only to sink back into the quagmire of their own identity crisis. We shouldn't be surprised that so many of us wrestle with this problem. God's Word makes it clear that his people live in a halfway house between heaven and hell, adherents to God's truth within a world of lies. The following passage from 2 Kings gives one such example. Besieging Jerusalem with a powerful army, the Assyrian king, Sennacherib, issues not only a threat to King Hezekiah and the kingdom of Judah but also a direct challenge to the entire identity of God's people.
Every day we are challenged by our society. Sometimes our culture intimidates us and attempts to erode confidence in our identity as God's people. In what ways do you struggle with this?
Ask God to teach you what trust means for you today.
