King Jehoshaphat was king of Judah, and he had a heart for God. But he unwisely made an alliance with evil King Ahab of Israel. When their armies attacked the Arameans, Ahab shrewdly disguised himself, while insisting that Jehoshaphat wear his royal robes. Consequently, the Arameans--who were ordered to kill only the king of Israel--mistook Jehoshaphat for Ahab, and they tried to kill him. Jehoshaphat cried out to the Lord, Who saved His servant from destruction.
This message is good news today for those of us who have a heart for God, but sometimes miss the mark. Are you in financial trouble today because of poor planning or foolish spending? Did you get involved in a relationship that was out of God's will for you? Are you overweight today because of poor eating habits? Maybe you've adopted the attitude, "I've made my bed, now I'll have to lie in it." You may feel like you deserve to suffer the consequences of your mistake, and you don't even feel like you can ask God for help. Jehoshaphat made a terrible mistake, but when faced with the consequences of his actions, He cried out to God, and was rescued. No matter how great your sin, turn to the Lord today, and receive His mercy and grace. In John Chapter 9 of The Message Bible, Jesus speaks some words which I pray will be a comfort to you: "You're looking for someone to blame... Look instead for what God can do"!
Prayer: Lord, sometimes, I feel so guilty when I know I've done wrong that it's
difficult for me to seek You afterwards. The next time I fail You, help me
to turn to You right away for forgiveness and help. Please don't let my
guilt or pride come between us. Give me a pure heart and a steadfast
spirit. Thank You for Your promise to continue the work You've begun in me!
