2 Kings 17-19
Some people over empathise our sinful depravity so much that they isolate themselves from everything worldly and become legalistic. Other people enjoy hillsong music so much that they rely the basis of their Christianity on emotion and become a new age spiritualist. The devil is just as deceiving now as he was in the Old Testament. Some people from kingdom of Judah started worshiping a bronze snake which centuries earlier was supposed to remind Israel of God's presence and power. King Hezekiah had to destroy the precious artifact as a result. What was originally meant for good became a stumbling block, this is as relevant as ever. We should be careful that what can help us in adoration or worship of God does not become objects or worship themselves.
This chapter was a lot more hopeful than the previous as King Hezekiah FINALLY tore down the high places and created reform. YAY YEET!!!
