16 But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his words and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of the Lord was aroused against his people and there was no remedy.
So there it goes again, from good king back to disobedient king and even a series of them. As I read this verse I think of the US, it seems we have lost our way as a society. Will we also suffer under the wrath of God for our actions and general disregard for seeking and following him?
I must say I am ready to be done with 2 Chronicles, not terribly up lifting. On to the final book.

I'm with ya. I'm running out of things to write. It seems very much the same. There is probably a great lesson for us in the repetitiveness of it. We as people will continue to push back on God, and even make the same mistakes as before.....unless we are REALLY vigilant and have good accountability partners. In a lot of these cases, the kings don't have someone telling them the right thing to do. In some cases they have the opposite.
ReplyDeleteWe need to keep pushing forward with our reading together....holding each other accountable.
