經文: 列王記下 15:3-4, 亞撒利雅行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父親亞瑪謝一切所行的；只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裡獻祭燒香。…猶大王亞撒利雅三十八年，耶羅波安的兒子撒迦利雅在撒瑪利亞作以色列王六個月。他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他列祖所行的，不離開尼八的兒子耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪裡的那罪。
默想: 這段經文讓我們看到北國以色列與南國猶大的主要問題，是在於他們的領袖，無法掙脫祖先所留下的宗教信仰影響。就北國以色列而言，他們的開國君王是耶羅波安，他為了鞏固他的政權，自己擅自在但與伯特利設立金牛犢，讓人民在那裡獻祭，他還自立宗教節期以及祭司。(王上12:28-33) 就南國而言，亞撒王效法大衛王，行耶和華眼中看為正的事，除去國中的偶像崇拜與孌童，亞撒一生向耶和華存誠實的心，只是邱壇還沒有廢去。(王上15:11-14) 北國政治領袖企圖操控人民的宗教信仰，因此引進偶像崇拜。南國的政治領袖在耶路撒冷聖殿敬拜耶和華，只是邱壇還沒有除去，這表示他們還沒有盡心盡性盡意盡力愛上帝，單單侍奉耶和華。求主幫助我，要除盡自己心中的偶像，還要能夠專一敬拜侍奉耶和華。
題目: 猶大王烏西雅在耶路撒冷統治了52年。當時國境一切平安(代下26章)他卻心高氣傲，要進耶和華的殿，在香壇上燒香，所以上主降災給烏西雅(v5)。這樣的事蹟，提醒我們思想，面對成功的人生，如何能不離開神的誡命？
15:1 以色列王耶羅波安二十七年，猶大王亞瑪謝的兒子亞撒利雅登基，
