Joash secures his rule for a time by stripping the temple of the Lord and sending its treasure to Hazael, king of Aram. Receiving the protection funds, Hazael withdraws. (2 Kings 12:17-18) But for how long?
I wonder about myself and my country. How often do we pay tribute to some threatening power? Do we tax our faith in order to pay protection money? What would happen if we stood and faced that threatening power insteat?
