Who Is Your Foundation?

 

Today's verse is 2 Kings 12:2

And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 

    Jehoash, as is implied here, respected Jehoiada the Priest, and therefore respected God, but Jehoiada failed to impart to this child a proper Fear of God. Therefore, when Jehoiada passed, so did Jehoash’s reason for serving the Lord God of Israel. What of you? Have you met God personally yourself? Or do you follow only the example of another? What if that other stumbles, or leaves? Will that be cause enough for you lose faith in the one that made you? Know this, God Loves you, and though all others may fail you, God himself never will. All of his promises to you, are always yea, and never, nay. And though if, rather, when you stumble, he will correct (which will be painful,) but he will never leave you nor forsake you, unless you were never his anyway. So, examine yourself, and know whether it is God you trust, or another. If it is in another, Repent, and turn to the Lord your God who loves you, died for you, is now Risen, and sits at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for you. Amen.

To God be the Glory
