Grace for your spirit May 23, 2008

But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and say to them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?' II Kgs 1:3

The King of Israel had an accident and he wondered if he would recover. He chose to ask Baal-zebub, an idol in the land, about his future. Baal-zebub of Ekron was the "lord of the flies." Why would any man, let alone the King of Israel, seek guidance from a "fly god"? Elijah had the question for the King. Is it because there is no God in Israel that you seek the "fly god"? God was in Israel, but He was not always honored as God. When we do not honor Him as God, other gods will become our focus. No matter what our position, a daily renewal with the true God is essential to keep our priorities right. Go with God.

The grace of the Lore Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
