2 Chronicles 20:29-30 NASB
(29)
And
the dread of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the
LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
(30)
So
the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God gave him rest on all
sides.
2 Chronicles 20:35-37 NASB
(35)
After
this Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. He
acted wickedly in so doing.
(36)
So
he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the
ships in Ezion-geber.
(37)
Then
Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying,
"Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed
your works." So the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish.
Wisdom
is keeping your guard up against unholy distractions.
It
is hard to understand how Jehoshaphat could go right back into an alliance with
Ahaziah, Ahab’s son. It is hard to
understand why we do some of the things that get us into trouble.
How
do we guard against unholy distractions?
We
seek God first He is sure to Bless.
When
we run with the world there are consequences to be paid.
This
week examine your ties to world in all aspects of your life.
