Day 2 is mostly about corrupt leadership and following the call of God to untie the cords of bad yolks. Jotham was a bad king, but Isaiah had to persevere and prophesy regardless of who the king was.
Beth says about our drive and ambition blinding us from God that, "At no time is our vision more capable of seeing God in His rightful place than when the focus of our former attentions have been removed from our sight." Whether we are worshiping a king or our pet, anything that stands before God in our priorities is wrongly placed. When that object of affection falls, we are forced to see God on the throne (where He belongs). God alone should be the number one priority in our lives. Isaiah knew that but Jotham was busy worshiping himself and pagan gods.
We must make a choice who will be King of our lives.
