In reading II Kings, I can't help but see our nation. The land had been divided: Israel and
Judah. Israel decided to follow
the world and never repented and God allowed them to be taken over by the
Assyrians. They lost it all
because they refused to obey God.
Judah was not far behind.
Believer, obedience to God is not an option. We don't get to choose what is right and wrong. We in our minds think we can decide what God
meant. He doesn't need explaining! If there is anything I
know, it is that God was clear about the way we are to live and He didn't
stutter!
Today, are you being
sanctified? Are you more like Jesus today than yesterday or are you more like
the world around you? It is a
slippery slope. God has given us power to live rightly. Romans 1:16-17
"I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation
of everyone who believes...For in the Gospel a righteousness from God is
revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last."
We don't get to choose what we think is
righteousness...God does!
