Where Is Your Faith?
In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the Lord. He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus, who had defeated him; for he thought, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.” But they were his downfall and the downfall of all Israel.
2 Chronicles 28:22-23 NIV
Beloved, You can't do what EVERYBODY else does and think it will be okay for you.
King Ahaz tried to get help from the same place that gods of Damascus had received help...
Thinking that if, it worked for them, surely it would work for him....WRONG‼
As a matter of fact, the text says, they (the people) he tried to connect himself to ended up being his downfall and the downfall of all Israel.
So, Whatever you do, don't let people be your downfall...
Don't let trying to do what other people do be your down fall.
The text starts off by saying, In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the Lord.
Don't let that be you.
Where is your faith?
Is it in people?
Is it in an organization or a group of people you think can help you because of what they've done for somebody else?
Where is your faith?
The bible says, We have all been given a measure of faith....
Rom 12:3 NLT
Still what you do with the faith you have been given is up to you.
You can be like King Ahaz and become even more unfaithful to the Lord when trouble hits your door.
You can have faith that what helped others with help you WITHOUT even attempting to ask God HIS Opinion....and trust me, He has an opinion.
Or you can be like Job...Who lost everything literally EXCEPT his marriage, and still he refused to curse God and die. Job 2:9 NIV
Instead, the bible says: In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God.
Job 1:22 NLT
Can you say the same?
Or has other gods become your god?
P. S. And did you know, blaming God is a SIN?
• Think about it...
It's right there in Job 1:22 NLT
Until Next Sunday.
