We were made to worship. And we all worship something. When we refuse to worship the One true God and acknowledge His authority, we simply create false religions that allow us to appease our consciences while we continue to live life our own way. But false religions never take us anywhere good. They simply take us farther and farther from God. Ahaz was one of Judah's wicked kings. Can you imagine a king so evil he would sacrifice his own children in the name of his false religion? Yet, instead of repenting when God brought judgment, he turned to other ungodly people for help. And sadly, the people of Judah as a whole became increasingly unfaithful until God in His perfect judgment allowed their destruction. Our nation, too, seems determined to go down the road of increasing unfaithfulness. We shouldn't think that if God judged His own covenant people, He won't judge us as a nation, as well. The question is, will we heed the voice of godly people or continue in our unfaithfulness and false religions.
The word rotten means something that is decaying or infected. Yet ladies, our Proverbs passage tells us we can be like rottenness to our husbands! But we have a choice. Each of us can, also, choose to be an excellent wife who is like a crown to her husband. We need to ask ourselves, which one describes us? And men, what do you value in a wife? Is it what God values, what He says makes an excellent wife? Finally, parents, are you preparing your daughter to be an excellent wife and your son to value what God values? Also, read about the hope found in the middle of Mark 16.6 in three little words, “He is risen.” What does it mean to us now and for eternity?
