More fighting - more death - Amaziah struck killed all his servants who had struck down his father and ten thousand Edomites dead... oh my!
Amaziah, king of Judah, did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father. Jeroboam, king of Israel, did what ws evil in the sight of the LORD.
Makes one wonder what is good and evil in the sight of God. Not long ago, I heard about a judge who wanted to get rid of the first table of the law regarding honoring God. The thinking (as I heard it) was that if we keep the second table regarding the way we treat others there would be peace. LOL! How delusional! Without God there is no peace. Without the help of God, you may as well throw out the second table, as well. I think that ignoring God would probably be a good first step in doing what is evil in the sight of the LORD. On the other hand, I was on facebook this morning, and the disrespect and just plain old lack of humanity dignity that is revealed by some of the posts reveals more than a bit about the human condition. Wow! Can't believe what some adults will post even as they have befriended young people who view this garbage on their sites. Amazing! This too, I have to believe is evil in the sight of the LORD. The Word of God has something to say about bringing up children in the way they should go. (Prov 22:6 & Luke 17:2) Some of these posts definitely encourage them on a different path!
May God protect our children and lead in the way that they should go.
