3 He too followed the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him to act wickedly. 4 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for after his father’s death they became his advisers, to his undoing.
I don't have a great take today. These chapters are all starting to sound very similar. The verse I copied above did catch my attention, in that who we choose to listen to can either build us up or be our demise. Ahaziah chose poorly. I probably need to take stock of the people that are influincing me on a daily basis, and determine if they are leading me to good or evil.

I'm glad I'm reading along with you on days like this especially. I get nothing but you manage to find a nugget. Its really true, we get to make our own choices but one choice we should probably make is to have our key people of influence in our life be those that are trying to follow God's direction. I'm happy to say that you are one of those people in my life...even if its from 800 miles apart.
ReplyDeleteI was just on facebook and Gina posted a picture of us laying on the floor at your parent watching football. Those were some of the best weekends in my life. I sure miss our regular Labor Day together.
We always say we need to get together, it is so hard. We really need to plan a weekend.
