Yet even so, he did not destroy the pagan shrines, and the people still offered sacrifices and burned incense there.
“Why haven’t you repaired the Temple? Don’t use any more money for your own needs. From now on, it must all be spent on Temple repairs.”
So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. 19But the man of God was angry with him. “You should have struck the ground five or six times!”
This pleased all the leaders and the people, and they gladly brought their money and filled the chest with it.
Lord God,
Help me to find and destroy all the pagan shrines in myself, give me power over them and ruthlessly destroy them, the shrine of lust, laziness, resentment and rebellion. Purify me so I may serve you wholeheartedly and release your power in my actions and may it all be for your glory.
In Jesus name,
Amen
