Day 226 – August 14, 2021
Scriptures: 2 Chronicles 21-23, Psalm 92 Have you attended the funeral of a faithful believer? Some of the best moments in my life are at the funeral of a beloved saint. To hear of their faithfulness and loving kindness on display, throughout their life is such an encouragement. We get the opposite of that in the book of Chronicles. “Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He passed away, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.” (2 Chronicles 21:20) “Though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. But you, Lord, are forever exalted.” (Psalm 92:7-8) Jehoram died, to no one’s regret. What a tragedy of life. He lived a corrupted life that led people away from the Lord. Elijah rebukes him and his corrupted character. Jesus teaches us that there are two paths. The path to life and the path towards destruction. You have a choice. Will you glorify God or not? Choose the narrow way, the way of the Lord, Blessings, Jordan
