Day 168 – June 17, 2021
Scriptures: 1 Kings 16, 1 Corinthians 14 Ahab gets the reward for most evil king. Not the reward you should be looking for! Ahab’s sin is a continuation of those who went before him. Like a door that is broken, left unattended the door doesn’t fix itself. It gets progressively worse and worse after each use. The heart of the kings who went before Ahab were deviating from the Law and will of God. One king after the next were slipping away. And before long, we are faced with a king who has a complete disregard for God and his will. Ahab is bent towards evil and worship of other gods. Worship of God is completely replaced with that of Asherah and Baal. A confrontation between Ahab and God’s man Elijah is coming in our upcoming reading. For now, as we turn towards the 1 Corinthians reading, Paul instructs the Corinthian church to be orderly in worship. Perhaps this was a way of circumventing some of the issues of the past. Preventing a lot of outside influences into the worship of God that would otherwise dilute it and cheapen it. The goal of worship and gathering seems to be in part, that people would be convicted of their sins, and know and see clearly that we worship the Lord our God only. Worship Christ Today! Jordan
