2Ch 17:3-5, NOW THE LORD WAS WITH JEHOSHAPHAT, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; HE DID NOT SEEK THE BAALS, BUT SOUGHT THE GOD OF HIS FATHER, AND WALKED IN HIS COMMANDMENTS…. THEREFORE THE LORD ESTABLISHED THE KINGDOM IN HIS HAND; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he sought out GOD, and because of this the LORD Blessed him! REMEMBER WE HAVE THE SAME PROMISE!
Mat 6:33, BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU.
Psa 37:4, DELIGHT YOURSELF ALSO IN THE LORD, AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.
2Ch 17:7,9, … HE SENT HIS LEADERS, …. TO TEACH IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH… AND HAD THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD WITH THEM; THEY WENT THROUGHOUT ALL THE CITIES OF JUDAH AND TAUGHT THE PEOPLE.
The king also sent teachers of the Word to teach his people! The LORD has so many promises to believers in HIS word YET, IGNORANCE OF HIS WORD CAUSES PEOPLE TO STUMBLE AND FALL SHORT OF HIS GLORY!
Hos 4:6, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, …
HE IS FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISES AND HIS WORD WILL NEVER FAIL! TRUST HIM!
Num 23:19, “GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, NOR A SON OF MAN, THAT HE SHOULD REPENT. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? Or HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD?
Jos 21:45, NOT A WORD FAILED OF ANY GOOD THING WHICH THE LORD HAD SPOKEN TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. ALL CAME TO PASS.
