2. The slippery slope is greased with pride. [2] After some years he went down to Ahab in Samaria. And Ahab killed an abundance of sheep and oxen for him and for the people who were with him, and induced him to go up against Ramoth-gilead. [3] Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.” (2 Chronicles 18:2-3 ESV) Pride greases the slippery slope that leads to the pits of compromise. Jehoshaphat makes a royal visit to Samaria, the seat of government in the North. Ahab puts on a great feast honoring king Jehoshaphat. Can’t help but see that special glow in the eyes of the king that looks a lot like the spectacles of pride. What does it take the grease to the skids in your life? What kind of attention dealt to you, praise heaped upon you, things going your way, all work to blind you to Gods call us you slip into the pits of compromise?
