2 Kings 11 Joash, the child king

The only queen to rule in the southern kingdom, Athaliah is still another proof that those who disregard God’s Word, will bring God’s discipline on themselves and on those they lead. She was the daughter of Arab and Jezebel and as such, was a worshiper of Baal. God’s patience for her came to an end after she thought she could end the line of Judah through murder and corruption. But, God will not be mocked. He rules and reigns in the heavens and His will was displayed when He saved the true son of Judah’s ancestry, Joash. He was raised by the high priest in all the ways of the Lord and will serve the Lord all the years that Jehoiada lived. 

Satan may try to usurp God’s will but God’s ways are not our ways. He rules, He raises up even a little child to fulfill His will.
