My dear brothers and sisters,
Today’s readings reveal two beautiful truths about God: He is just, and He is merciful.

At first, this may seem like a story about God’s judgment. But surprisingly, it becomes a story about God’s mercy. When Ahab humbled himself, fasted, and repented, God noticed. Even though Ahab’s sins were serious, God delayed the punishment because He saw a repentant heart.
