The One Year Bible - Day 166

1 Kings 14 and we read about a very sad state of affairs in Judah. It is clear that the glory had well and truly departed. There was sin and unfaithfulness and to cap it all, even the Temple which was supposed to be the glory of God had been robbed of its beauty and had cheap substitutes put in their place, a bit like people who spent thousands on their house and give their church all the cheap rubbish that they don't want any more.

If we are the church, do we look like someone has stolen the glory and we have covered it up in cheap rubbish/pretense/religion? The glory is always there for the taking back so if we are like that, let us take it back by going before God on bended knee and repenting.
