Choose to serve God

2Kings 21:1-26
The worst king Manasseh reigned in Jerusalem 55 years. He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, provoking him to anger. Manasseh led Judah astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end.
Amon became king when he was 22 years old, He did evil in the eyes of the Lord,  as his father had done. he reigned in Jerusalem two years. Amon's official conspired against hi and assassinated the king in his palace.
Manasseh is to Judah what king Ahab was to Israel. And bring Judah to the point of no return; a degradation worse than that of the Canaanite nations the Israelies had destroyed. The prophets declare God's inevitable judgment. Jerusalem will share the fate of Samaria.
Why?
Hezekiah did not spend time to teach his son Manasseh walk in the way of the Lord, May be he just enjoyed his last 15 years in Jerusalem and built many constructions.
Manasseh bring Judah to the point of o return, the people of Judah complete change of heart before end of Mannaseh's life.
To do the right thing and rebuild the root of justice in a nation spend a lot of time and effort, but destroy it very easy. The heart of Manasseh complete against the Lord and did what he looks fit.
How?
Ever one have to bear his own sin when the last day and judgement comes. All we have done will be written in the book of remembrance.
Choose to serve God, choose to honor God and choose to remember God did for us.
