Rev. John RohrmanFebruary 27, 2022Passage: 2 Chronicles 22:1-9
In this passage, we see that King Ahaziah of Judah walked with the house of Ahab, just as his father and grandfather had done, because his relatives from the house of Ahab were his counselors. And though his death left no one able to rule the kingdom, the counsel of the Lord was at work to preserve the house of David until the true and eternal King would come. Likewise, when we walk in the ways of the world because we are following the counsel of the world, the Lord graciously confronts us and gives us an opportunity to repent and be saved, rather than being judged along with the world.
