Day 188 – July 7, 2021
Scriptures: 2 Kings 20-21, Psalm 82, 2 Kings 22 Manasseh was as evil as a king as you can possibly imagine. He will be blamed for the final fall of Judah. It was his deviation from the law, the Lord and all that was good that will be the final blow to the nation. Manasseh brought harm and death to his people. He worshiped other gods, even the sun, moon, and stars. He worshiped what was created, and not the Creator. Unfortunately for Judah, he was also the longest reigning king, 55 years from 687-642 BC. After Manasseh’s death, we have one last righteous king. His name was Josiah and he reigned circa 640-609 BC. He undid much of what Manasseh did, he restore the Temple, and the book of the Law was discovered. Once it was discovered there was a great awakening and renewal. A calling of repentance and return to worship of the Lord. As I reflect on today’s text, I invite you to join with me and pray for an awakening to the worship of God. IT was in the renewal of the temple, that they found God’s Word. We need that awakening today in our own age, in our own place. For people to hear the Word of God and reform their lives again. I need it! You probably need it, and I know our community needs it! Let’s call people to worship, and open ourselves to hearing again the Word of the Lord. God bless your day! Jordan
