Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord. They testified against them, but they would not pay attention.
I think being a prophet has to be a tough life. Nobody really pays you any attention because you mostly sound crazy...I love the use of the word "he". No real question in my mind who they are talking about. God has to make Himself known. Joash was so faithful but when his mentor died, he fell away. God sent warning after warning, but nothing changed.
Have you ever been like that? I know I have. I lose a good influence and despite repeated attempts to get me back on track, I just ignore everything He says. And then one day'll come along where I screw things up sooooooooooooo bad that I can't deny God anymore and have to turn back. Praise God for grace and understanding in spite of my self.
Lord, You see my need for You and I praise You that You always come. Thank You for the grace You give me. Please continue to call out to me and never let me forget Your sweet voice.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
