Some closing thoughts on 2 Chronicles
As I wrapped up reading through 2 Chronicles over the last 6 weeks, I came away with a couple of overall thoughts:
1. There are consequences to our actions. When the people of Judah had good kings who encouraged the people to follow God, the nation and the people prospered. When the kings were evil and led the people away from God, they were often attacked and conquered by the surrounding countries. Although the consequences for our actions may not always be seen immediately, we do reap what we sow.
2. God is faithful. Even when the people rebelled against Him, God was faithful to keep His covenant promises. He insured that Judah would continue to exist as a people because He had promised that the Messiah would come from the line of David. Man can never overcome God's plans and promises.

I have always been amazed at God's willingness to forgive. He is full of mercy and grace and does all He can to avoid judgment - if we would but repent and lean on Him once again.
