I read 2 this morning, because 27 was pretty short. Which I find to be point of interest. Why is it short? It seems that Jotham did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. And yet, his chapter barely registers a couple of paragraphs.
When we get to 28 and Ahaz....there is a lot more written. Why is that? It almost feels like the bad behavior warrants more attention. I don't like this mentality. I think we should spend more time on the positive, and abbreviate the negative....don't you think?
I understand there are probably things in 28 that are warnings for us. But, I want to read about the God fearing, and the faithful....not the wicked bad decision makers.
kindof a rant today.

I got some work to do to catch up. I've been gone racing the last 4 weekends and out of town for work in between during the weeks and have just been strung out and not getting up early enough to do my reading.
ReplyDeleteI agree I'd prefer to focus and learn about the good and right things to do versus reading about Ahaz and how he mucked it up. The pattern continues of doing well then falling away and really losing focus on God. I have been a bit like Ahaz lately I think.
