“Now Hazael king of Syria died. Then Ben-Hadad his son reigned in his place. And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz recaptured from the hand of Ben-Hadad, the son of Hazael, the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times Joash defeated him and recaptured the cities of Israel.” II Kings 13:24-25 NKJV
a. Three times Joash defeated him: Elisha had promised Joash these three victories over the Syrians. We can suppose that, especially after the third victory, King Joash wished he had shot more arrows through the window at the invitation of Elisha.
Wished!
Like king Joash who wished he had shot more arrows, when we examine our lives will we have regretted and wished we had accepted Jesus sooner and accomplished more for His kingdom than we did?
Unfortunately we may never know unless we have death staring us in the face!
It’s at that moment that you realize that you are mortal and life is short and precious!
I wish I had accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior sooner, do you?
Blessings
