Warts and all...

Today in 2 Kings 9-12, we read about several kings and their gory demise. This reads like a daytime soap opera, with betrayal after betrayal and murders galore. Almost hard to keep track of it all. The main point is that the kings faithful to God were more successful than who were not, mostly. Even with Godly focus, the faithful still came up short serving God, and were ultimately met with untimely death.
So what does any of this have to do with us today? Glad you asked. I see this as Israel being truthful about her past, warts and all. We cannot escape from the truth, esp the truth of events and happenings of our past. We need learn from them so that we do not repeat! Accountability is key to help us avoid same mistakes of our past. Do not be afraid to acknowledge your truth!
