Catching up... Both Rehoboham and Jereboam allow idol
worship to be established in their respective kingdoms. Jereboam is motivated
by political expediency. He wants the people he rules to remain loyal.
Rehoboham seems motivated by laxity.
Both the promises and prophecies of God ring true. “If you
remain loyal to the Lord, then the Lord will defend you. But if you forsake the
Lord to follow other gods, then the Lord will not defend you. Armies will
plunder your wealth. You will become subservient to others.”
Have I taken charge of the “territory” God has entrusted to
me, or have I allowed myself to be motivated by laxity?
