Day 176 - Joash

Daily Reading:  2 Kings 11-14:20

Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the years Johiada the priest instructed him.  2 Kings 12:2

Footnote:  

Joash didn't go far enough in removing sin from the nation, but he did much that was good and right.  When we aren't sure if we've gone far enough in correcting our actions, we can ask
1.  Does the Bible expressly prohibit this action? 
2.  Does this action take me away from loving, worshiping, or serving God?
3.  Does it make me its slave?
4.  Is it bringing out the best in me, consistent with God's purpose?
5.  Does it benefit other believers?
