With the king of Assyria allowing Manasseh to return home, he was a changed man. He saw the wickedness of his ways and began the process to restore what he had done. He fortified the city of Jerusalem, took down the idol worship sites and set up the Lord's temple again. He sent officers to help restore the land as well in the surrounding cities. He was not successful in removing all of the high places for idol worship since the people continued their practices, still he did his part. The balance of the section detailed the rest of his deeds and life and were recorded in 2 Kings 21 although the repentance part that was recorded here.He was dead in 642 BC and was buried in his palace. His son, Amon succeeded him.
All in all, a decent day yesterday and was culminated in the restoration of my cable bill to its original amount for another year - minor victory!!! Had a good convo with PAL's cousin and invited her to church as well. That would be a major victory! Tonight, have to work on the message and will look forward to the missions weekend with Barry Jordan. Praying for safe passage for GG and Irene today back home.
Praise for today: Praise be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. Psalm 41: 13
How did you accomplish that with the Cable? That takes talent!
ReplyDeleteI just told them that I couldn't afford to pay more and that if they couldn't do anything about it I would switch to Verizon Fios. I told them that I have been a loyal customer and since I only am here less than the full week, it doesn't make sense to pay that freight. The rate they gave me was the my old rate prior to the increase and is good for another year. So I have a year to enjoy before going to war again...
