We stand on the Rock of Salvation

Divrei-HaYamim Bet (2 Chronicles) 22:9b-12

At this point there was no one in the house of Achazyah strong enough to rule the kingdom. When ‘Atalyah the mother of Achazyah saw that her son was dead, she set about destroying the entire royal family of the house of Y’hudah. But Y’hoshav’at the daughter of the king took Yo’ash the son of Achazyah, stole him away from among the princes who were being slaughtered, and sequestered him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus Y’hoshav’at the daughter of King Y’horam, wife of Y’hoyada the cohen and sister of Achazyah, hid him from ‘Atalyah, so that he was not killed. He remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years; during this time ‘Atalyah ruled the land.

As believers we should be like Y’hoshav’, disregarding the chaos around us caused by evil people like ‘Atalyah the idol worshiping, self-destructive queen mother and know that our salvation is hidden away in our hearts until that time and season when He shall come bursting forth in power and glory restoring righteousness to us and the land just as Yo’ash restored the kingdom of Judah to worship of ADONAI. Lord let Your reign come now, bring justice to our land! I ask this in Yeshua’s name, amen.
