2 Chronicles 22

The bad choice to collaborate with the house of Ahab continues to bring destruction upon Judah, long after that choice was made.  Counselors from that family lead Ahaziah to commit the same kinds of sin.  After he dies at the hands of Jehu, his mother executes all the others in the royal family in order to keep power for herself.  But Joash is preserved by his courageous sister,  Jehoshabeath.  She conceals him in the temple buildings, preserving the family line from which the future Messiah would come. 

LORD, give us wisdom to keep from making choices that might lead to bad consequences generations afterward.
