Forget the Loss of Wrong

In II Chronicles 25 tell us that the king of Judah, Amaziah, bought soldiers to help him fight his enemy. He paid 100 talents of silver for 100,000 mighty men out of Israel. These men were from the godless, idol worshipping nation of Israel. The prophet came to King Amaziah and said, “God is not with Israel so do not fight with them”.

In verse 9 we notice a great truth about obeying God when we have already spent or committed to a decision that is wrong or out of His will.

God speaks to the prophet to tell Amaziah that it is not good for you to join with Israel to help fight your battle. Amaziah speaks to the prophet and says, “What will I do with the 100 silver talents I gave to them already”? There was no return on his money. He could not get his money back. He would lose it all. There was a no return policy with war funds.

The prophet responds to Amaziah, “You made a bad decision by joining your forces with Israel. You made another poor decision giving the silver to them, so, it is better to break the treaty with Israel and forget the loss of silver. You serve a God that is able to kill your enemy without Israel and give you much more silver than what you spent for Israel’s soldiers”.

The prophet is saying, obedience to God is never too late. Obedience to God may mean loss but God is able to give you a return on your loss far exceeding your wrong investment in disobedience.

NBC, obeying Him far outweighs anything done in disobedience. Obey Him today you cannot loose. Forget the loss and obey no matter what the loss.

God Bless You
