“They also feared the Lord and appointed from among themselves all sorts of people as priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places. So they feared the Lord but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

So these nations feared the Lord and also served their carved images. Their children did likewise, and their children’s children—as their fathers did, so they do to this day.”
‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭17:32-33, 41‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because the writer of 2 Kings says, “ So these nations feared the Lord and also served their carved images. Their children did likewise”. Would your children say your family worships only the Lord?  Do other idols come into play when making decisions?  Money, reputation, status, etc. can be very tempting to consider when making decisions, but do we seek what the Lord wants?  Please pray that we and our friends show our children that we serve God only and hopefully they will follow suit. Please pray for Craig Fry’s daughter Chelsea as she is in the hospital.
