locust in 2 Chronicles 6
LOH-kust
This creature shows up in 2 Chronicles 6:28: ““If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
2 Chronicles 6:28
““If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;”
What kids can learn
When you hear locust in 2 Chronicles, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Chronicles 6:28 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
