Two Kings (Second Chronicles 33)

The story of MANASSEH and AMON, the kings of Judah, Father and Son.

MANASSEH DID EVIL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD, BUT HE HUMBLED HIMSELF.

At the beginning of the chapter are listed all the evil things he did. When the LORD spoke to the king and the people they did not listen.

So the LORD punished him through the commanders of the king of Assyria.

He became distressed and humbled himself. He sought the LORD, prayed, and the LORD restored the kingdom to him.

AMON DID EVIL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD, BUT DID NOT HUMBLE HIMSELF.

Amon worshiped the idols his father had made, but he did not humble himself.

The Bible says, that Amon increased his guilt.

His own people assassinated him. There was turmoil in the land.

What is our STORY?

“The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to them through his messengers again and again, because he had pity on his people and on his dwelling place.” – Second Chronicles 36:15

The following sign, and I love it, you can see at the present time here in Kaitaia on the footpath in front of one of the shops:

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you think is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” – Steve Jobs

I did exactly that, I kept looking, and I found it. That’s why I love the quote!

“Steine”

durch die ich gesegnet wurde.

Wilhelm Busch war ein Pfarrer, durch den ich gesegnet wurde. Ich wohnte zu der Zeit in Bottrop, als er seine Jugendarbeit im Weigle Haus in Essen hatte. Ich war oft in Essen von Bottrop. Zwoelf Kilometer war Bottrop von Essen entfernt.

In einem seiner Andachtsbuecher schreibt er im Vorwort:

“Lebensbrot”

“Und dort nimmt in einem kleinen Witwenstuebchen eine reife Christin das Buch zur Hand. Sie kann “Steine” und “Lebensbrot” wohl unterscheiden.”

Pfarrer Busch ist schon lange beim Herrn, aber seine Buecher sind noch immer ein Segen fuer mich.

Shipwreck

“Shipwreck occurs where there is not that mental poise which comes from being established on the eternal truth that God is holy love.” – Oswald Chambers
