Day 209 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 21-22, Romans 11, Psalm 22:1-18 and Proverb 20:7 
Perhaps the reader can remember why God did not destroy the evil ruler a few chapters back. God's promises were in effect (the covenant with David's lineage) and we find that goodness and righteousness has a season in world affairs because His Will is being done. Did you notice the reaction of God's people when evil was taken care of and righteousness ruled? The people rejoiced!
"Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever." – 2 Chronicles 21:7 (English Standard Version)
"We praise You Father, because of Your Righteousness and Faithfulness to your covenant with us. We proclaim Your Truth and Testimony that You alone are worthy of our praise and adoration. In Jesus' name, Amen."
