He Looked in the Wrong Place

He told the king, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” 2 Kings 1.16
 
These are the words spoken to King Ahaziah after he sought medical advice because of an injury and he sought not the help from God; but from an idol.
 
People put their hope in the wrong things, which brings me to the upcoming presidential election. Every four years we hear politicians make big promises on how they are going to change lives for the better and we see voters believing and fighting to the death to support their man.
 
Such ought not be. Man needs to trust in God, because humans are limited and could be gone in 60 seconds. Psa 144.4
