2 Kings 12:20 "Joash's officers plotted against him and assassinated him at Beth-milio on the road to Silla."
Joash has been a fairly decent king for awhile, yet his life comes to an end when two of his officers assassinate him.
Verse 21 records that the two assassins were trusted advisers to Joash. Sometimes you just never know I guess. I'm not a cynical man but sometimes you just can't trust people. I can trust God though. At the end of the day, he is only the "person" I can truly trust. My hope and trust should not be in any other man, but in Christ alone. Men will always let me down, but Jesus never will.
Dear Jesus, help me trust in you today. Amen.
