The One Year Bible - Day 212

It seems it is not enough for someone's successor to be more Godly than the person they take over from but they need to take positive action to restore what has been lost. In the OT it was mostly destroying pagan shrines and asherah poles but nowadays, there are similar idols in the church that need not to be simply ignored or even denounced but to be destroyed. Sadly the Christian life has to be cycles of blessing and then tidying up as we notice the rubbish start to collect in our lives.
