Been there, done that

Today, we read 1 Kings 12-16. It is a period of change for Israel. King Solomon has died and his son Rehoboam is ruling in Judah. Meanwhile civil war has stripped Rehoboam of the 10 northern tribes. A succession of ungodly kings lines both sides. Just try to keep track. Amazingly, lessons are not learned. Over and over again, sons commit the sins of their fathers. Now we can see the importance of a legacy! One verse that is especially troubling to me is ch 12 v 28. Northern King Jeroboam make two golden calves to worship....now, let me see, where did hear about that before....oh yes, MOSES on Mt. Siani! Israel has already been through that!!! What we do not learn from history, we are bound to repeat!
