2 Chronicles 11-15: Verse of the Day

Abijah, king of Judah, proclaimed to Israel, "Have you not driven out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of what are no gods" (2 Chron 13:9).

I was reading a letter from a man who married a woman who was an "ordained minister". She came to my mind as I read this verse. Men have made their own religion separate and apart from God. They have ordained leaders over themselves in a manner that God has never specified and continue in serving something other than God. All the while, what God has told us to do is being ignored and disdained!
