June 8th

Jehoram received a letter from Elijah who had been taken up into heaven.  Yet he didn't repent.  He died a most horrible death.  He didn't follow in the steps of Asa or Jehoshaphat and follow the Lord.  Our ancestors are witnesses against us.  Hebrews tells us that they are looking down watching us as we run the race.  What must have Jehoram's ancestors thought?  What must have Israel thought of the nation that is now divided?  What must David have thought?   What must Solomon have thought since his sin led to the division?  God help us to take heed of the warnings that we receive and live holy and righteous lives.  I wish that I could live half the good life that my grandfather and my father lived.
