This book of the Old Testament continues the records of the kings of Israel and Judah. The theme throughout this book seems to be that God offers blessing and protection if the kings will honor and obey him and not turn to evil actions and idolatry. Over and over again, we see more kings turn away from God to follow evil than we see good kings who obey God. Those that do obey God are given blessing for their reign.
I think this theme can be applied to our daily life as well. If we turn away from evil and embrace and obey God, He will guide and bless us. That doesn't mean life will always be perfect, but He will have His hand on us and bless us and those around us.
