locust in 2 Chronicles 7
LOH-kust
This creature shows up in 2 Chronicles 7:13: ““If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
2 Chronicles 7:13
““If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;”
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 7:13 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
