Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them. (2 Chronicles 25:14 KJV)
I used to wonder why Amaziah was so stupid to worship the idols whom he had defeated. It is bad enough to worship idols, but this amazing guy was worshipping idols that were proven worthless. Then I realized that many a time, I am doing it myself.
Many Christians believed that Christ died for their sins. This the the victory that Christ won over their idols, self and mammon. But after this victory, we bring back the defeated idols of self and mammon and worshipped them in our daily life. We rather trust self-effort and money rather than Christ.
