2 Chronicles 10-11 How Quickly The Slide Begins

David had been a man after God’s own heart.  Solomon, his son, had watched as David’s faith waned in his final years, and that seemed to led to Solomon’s own backsliding – not remembering what God had commanded kings not to do.  Upon Solomon’s death, his son Rehoboam seemed to disrespect his father’s memory and his father’s God-given wisdom, instead choosing to rule the people by force of will.  In just two generations, sin had caused the splitting up of the kingdom and the road to decline was becoming well-paved.



Father, thank You for the reminder that, without worship and respect of You and Your commands, my own family would quickly lose all of the blessings You offer.  Help me to guide my sons and lift them up to You in prayer every day.  Please guide their young hearts and help them to trust You and call upon You regularly for help.



Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
