Week 38 Day 1: King Jehoshaphat's Reign

September 16, 2024

What did Jehoshaphat do in the third year of his reign?

Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king and strengthened himself against Israel.
In the third year of his reign he sent his officials taking with them the Book of the Law of the Lord to teach people in the towns of Judah.
The fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not go to war against Jehoshaphat but paid tributes.
Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honor, and he allied himself with Ahab king of Israel by marriage.
Ahab urged Jehoshaphat to attack Ramoth Gilead together. Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel to first seek the counsel of the Lord through the prophets.
The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah asked him to speak favorably. But Micaiah spoke only the word of the Lord to warn Ahab.
Ahab put Micaiah in prison and made him suffer.
The king of Israel entered the battle in disguise but was shot dead by a random arrow.

Integrity - In what stage of Jehoshaphat’s life did he ally with Ahab? What can I learn from that? How should I treat the wealth God has given me?
Fidelity - Jehoshaphat prepared himself against Israel and obeyed God, followed His law. What can I learn from Jehoshaphat of the relationship between my own responsibilities and God’s work?
Fidelity - Jehoshaphat motivated many of his officials to teach people with the Book of the Law of the Lord. How may I co-work by my fellow Christians to encourage all people to read Bible and to grow spiritually?
