I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

1 Kings 16. “And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshiped him. Then he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. And Ahab made a wooden image. Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him” (Verses 31-33). Don’t provoke God. Don’t purposely do what He has said not to do. Ahab provoked God, anyone who has read the story knows that this did not bode well for him. Don’t provoke God, praise Him. He is always with us, always meeting our need. Don’t anger Him. Thank Him.
