Feelin lucky today?
Today, we end 2 Kings (22-25) with the last good king Josiah (a man who followed God) and a series of not so good, ending with the exile to Babylon. The Old Testament has come full circle, from creation to exile in Egypt, from deliverance to exile in Babylon. The plight of the wayward nation. Our objects of idolatry might have changed from Asherah poles, but our disobedience is the same. If the people only knew...
How is it that we see success in obedience (see Josiah) yet turn to do things our way. Pride and arrogance...desire to control and be like God...seems to be a fallen nature theme of man. How to break it? Repent, return to the Lord. John the Baptist might have been on to something....
