“After Amaziah came from striking down the Edomites, he brought the gods of the men of Seir and set them up as his gods and worshiped them, making offerings to them. Therefore the Lord was angry with Amaziah and sent to him a prophet, who said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of a people who did not deliver their own people from your hand?” But as he was speaking, the king said to him, “Have we made you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.””

All,

This stands out because the writer of 2 Chronicles says, “After Amaziah came from striking down the Edomites, he brought the gods of the men of Seir and set them up as his gods and worshiped them”. It’s tempting to worship worldly things after a big accomplishment for which you give yourself credit. What do we have that God didn’t provide?  Did we create our abilities?  Please pray that we and our friends worship God and ask him to identify any gods in your life. Please pray for Jon and Teddy’s group.
