Amaziah showed his true colors after dismissing the Israeli army from his own troops. He fought against the Edomites and won taking the plunder that is usually associated with the victory. The problem was that he also took their gods and started to worship them as if they were the source of his victory. The victory was only from the grace of God.God sent a prophet to him but was dismissed and threatened with death if he did not cease the Lord's charges against him. The prophet agreed to but warned Amaziah of his death via the Lord for his actions.
Decent day at work but the day was overshadowed by the significance of the date - both on a personal and national level. Prayers today for Donna's family as they lost their mom and now how we are to go there to pay our respects. 4+ hour drive back and forth and hopefully we can do it without incident on Saturday. Also prayers for my sister in Christ, Dana as she is under going surgery today. Praying!!!!
Praise for today: Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer hi; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him and show him my salvation. Psalm 91: 14-16
