2 Chronicles 24: Maintenance on the Temple

Joash became king at the age of 7. With the good influence of Jehoiada, the priest, he was able to get back to basics. They started by doing repairs to the temple. A lesson—if we are going to use something to the glory of the Lord (for example—when the church owns property) - we must take care of it. It must not fall into disuse or become a place for the practice of evil things while it is under our control. I wish I could tell you that this whole chapter is filled with positive lessons, but it is not. Joash went into sin and died in shame. Take heed, brothers and sisters (Hebrews 3:12-13).
