We Are The People

2 Kings 13:11-12 “And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, but walked in them. ¹² Now the rest of the acts of Joash, all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?”

Sin begets sin. Jehoaz let the nation into ungodly living by executive orders that were not in agreement with God’s laws. He also “walked in them” or disobeyed the laws of God. Pray that our leaders will find that it is better for everyone to live and lead righteously. If not their time will be cut short as did Jehoaz’s reign. His predecessors reigned longer than he did over Israel.
