2 Chronicles 28:23
He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus, who had defeated him; for he thought, "Since the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me." But they were his downfall and the downfall of all Israel.

I think this verse tells us that when we leave God out of our decisions and decide for ourselves before asking if it is "His will"; we should also be prepared for any or all consequences. Also there is only one God that we should worship and be faithful to and that is our Lord & Savior.

Ahaz not only was causing his own destruction but the destruction of his own people by forsaking the ways of the Lord. Lord, help me never to forsake Your principles but to always look to You for guidance. Amen

In times of trouble, I have two choices to make of who I will turn to.....worldly friends or God. I have made the mistake of choosing friends and their ways depending on them to give me short lived fun and advice. But at the end of the day, where are they when I am alone and stuck with all my thoughts. So it would become a cycle to keep on depending on friends and their worldly pleasures and at the same time becoming even more unfaithful to the Lord. As much as my friends seemed to care, they were my downfall. However, I have turned to God in times of trouble and the peace that He gave me was not short lived. His words of encouragement and love stayed with me at all times whether I was with others or alone. God, please give me the strength to stay close to You, follow your ways, and not turn my back on you when this world offers short lived fun.
