staff in 2 Kings 18
STAF
This thing shows up in 2 Kings 18:21: “Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Kings 18:21
“Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.”
What kids can learn
When you hear staff in 2 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
