2 Chronicles 22-24, Psalms 106:24-35
What God said to me – There is a fine line to being in the world but not of it and you must be careful not to cross that line because it can become a slippery slope that is not easy to come back from. You must constantly guard your heart and mind by spending time with Me and My word and by surrounding yourself with godly companions to encourage you and to keep you accountable. The story of Joash, king of Judah is a cautionary tale that demonstrates how quickly you can fall away. His sister was married to a priest and she saved him from being murdered as a baby after his father died. He was raised by her and her husband, Jehoiada, the priest, and became king at seven years old. He did right in My sight all of the days of Jehoiada. He walked with Me and restored My house which was in disrepair. However, after Jehoiada died, rather than listening to the priests, he listened to ungodly officials and abandoned My house and fell into idolatry. He slid down that slippery slope and never came back. So, take care and learn from his story. Surround yourself with godly teachers and counselors and companions so you can do what is right in My sight from now to the end and you will finish well.
