Jeroboam, for political expediency, exalts his own wisdom above God’s revelation by introducing the false religious practices of other nations. He is thus bringing down God’s judgement upon the land.
This is precisely the problem in our own time : people, including political leaders, think that they have a superior wisdom to God’s word. They think that new developments in society can supersede God’s eternal law, that the word of God is no longer relevant in a progressive, 'enlightened', liberal and modern society.
So fallen man has this tendency to exalt his own wisdom above that of God's revealed truth. Society now thinks that it can defy the laws of God with impunity. It thinks, for example, that it can decree that Britain is no longer a Christian country, but has become instead a multi-faith society, thus asserting, contrary to the Bible, that the Lord Jesus Christ does not possess all pre-eminence.
We are reminded of Proverbs 14:34, "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people".
Thank you for listening. We call it The 33:12 Report, after Psalm 33:12 which says "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord"
