In the words of Bob and Larry of Veggie Tales:
Bob the Tomato: “Larry, how much stuff do you need to make you happy?”
Larry the Cucumber: “I don’t know. How much stuff is there?”
When we move away from King Jesus and chase after ‘stuff’ and make other things kings of our life then when God decides to topple over those thrones we end up having no king at all. Our idols are broken and we have lost His presence.
“Then they will say, “We have no king because we did not revere the Lord. But even if we had a king, what could he do for us?” (Hosea 10 v 3)
Assyria was a shadow, they were coming and in 722 BC they took the land and they took their king. There was nothing they could do. They had lost everything because of their unfaithfulness to the true and only King.
Don’t chase after ‘stuff’ to satisfy your soul when only King Jesus can do that.
