Judah. following quieter paths, made

The people found themselves. seeking

Of men in trial. Her resources were

that "all things work together for good

Idolatry Defeated.

Success came to the man of prayer
Victory always comes to the man who
trusts in the power of God. Absalom
failed because his success would have
endangered Gods plans. David was
denied the privilege of building the
temple because he was a man Of blood.
He had allowed a woman to come be-
tween him and his God. Solomon's 8
idolatry was the source of the division
of the kingdom because it was the only
way that the religion of Jehovah might
be saved from being lost by absorp-
ton by false faiths. Idolatry divided the
nation but God turned the adversely Of
the division into a means of saving Judah
and making her a blessing to all man
kind.
Jeroboam. the champion of the peo-
pies rights and defender of the toilers
upon the public works, has come down
in history as the one who made Israel
to sin by his fatal encouragement of
calf worship. which attached Israel
for centuries to an unspiritual form of
worship
Ahab in his compromise with the
worship of Baal brought on the con-
test between Jehovah and Baal. The
compromising politician and potentate
bows to the will Of the prophet of God,
who pointed out to Israel the folly of
the nation trying to serve two gods.
The prophets and priests of Baal
perished because they dared to oppose
Jehovah.
Asa, commended for his good reign,
received the punishment he deserved
because he trusted in an alliance with
Benhadad in place of putting his faith
in the protection of Jehovah. The
drunken Benhadad suffered defeat not
merely because he was engaged in a
drunken carousal. but because he put
his trust in other gods than Jehovah,
whose interests and honor were at stake
in the outcome of the contest
The Lesson of the quarter calls for our
undivided and loyal service to the Lord
Jesus as the pathway to peace, prestige
and power. God did not desert His people.
He never does. In every crisis He will
supply them with leaders who will do FHs
will and win victories that will glorify
His name.
Religion is the best asset of any ma
ton, "for blessed is that nation whose
God is the Lord" Irreligious and idola-
trous nations cannot win. The way of
| success Is opened only to the spiritual
minded men and women of the earth,
who will inrehit the earth by their meek
ness. BY their faith they will conquer
all things in the name of the Lord of
hosts.
We are called upon to dedicate our lives
and love to the cause of the Christ. and
join in the crusade that will dethrone the
idolatrous forces and enthrone the Christ
in the hearts and wills of men and ma
tions. As builders Of the temple not made
with hands, that God calls us to help Him
build, We can best prove His power by
learning to rejoice in the strength and
salvation Of the Lord Jesus. who will SUBJ
due the foes that threaten His Church
not by power of force but by His spirit,
that will overcome the world.
