Good afternoon, everyone.
Today I read 1 Kings 12-14.
Solomon died. And it came to pass as God said. His son, Rehoboam, is king over only Judah. But thr rest of the tribes of Israel follow Jeroboam. Further details of their reigns are recorded in the Chronicles, which we will get to.
But for today, I only want to discuss a few brief details.
Both kings were wicked, and did evil in the sight of God, including serving other gods and setting up altars for them.
Jeroboam even made two golden calves, and declared that the people should worship the gods who delivered them from Egypt.
Each time, I think that the Israelites should know better. But each time, a new generation grows up, and has their own opportunity to either serve God, or not.
And it's the same today. Each generation has a choice, to listen to the teachings of the generations before or not, to serve God or not.
We all have a choice.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read 1 Kings 15-17.
