2 Ki 13-14; 2 Chr 25; 2 Ti 3

The sad tale of the kings of Israel and Judah continually highlights the justice and righteousness of God. When a nation ignores God, poverty and oppression become their standard way of life and it will prove to be no different in our current day. Paul is more succinct in describing the characteristics of a nation failing before God. The ugliness of sin is evident everywhere. I must seize a sense of desperateness in my relationship with the Lord and not slide into the sludge of lukewarmness. In doing this I know the Watchman will keep watch over my soul.
