Poem 2nd Kings

In the book of Second Kings, a tale unfolds,

Of prophets, kings, and stories so bold.

A narrative of power, faith, and might,

In the darkness, it's a guiding light.

Elijah taken up to the sky,

In a fiery chariot, rising high.

Elisha watches with awe-struck gaze,

His master vanishing in such a blaze.

A double portion of Elijah's spirit he receives,

In the power of God most high, he believes.

Miracles he performs in God's name,

Echoing Elijah's holy fame.

Kings rise and fall, wars are fought,

Lessons of faith and humility are taught.

Idols are worshiped, God's commands defied,

Yet, His mercy and love are never denied.

In the reign of Hezekiah, we find,

A king who was righteous and very kind.

Praying to God in his awful distress,

His kingdom, the Lord God did bless.

Yet, the wickedness of Manasseh was great,

Leading Judah down, to a disastrous fate.

Despite repentance in his later life,

His earlier sins caused much strife.

Due to him, the city of Jerusalem fell,

Under Babylonian rule, they came to dwell.

Yet, in the midst of despair and strife,

He repented and asked GOD for his life.

God listened and granted his prayers you see

For he is the same GOD for you and for me

Second Kings teaches us about God's grace,

His love for the human race.

Despite our sins, if we repent,

His forgiveness is never spent.
