We trace the sharp contrast between Jehoshaphat’s praise-fueled victory and Jehoram’s tragic drift, drawing a straight line from small compromises to generational fallout. A simple prayer of willingness becomes the pathway to real faithfulness and practical change.

• Gratitude for community support and vision for the new year
• Jehoshaphat’s response to crisis through fasting, prayer and worship
• The battle belongs to God as a lived strategy
• Victory through praise and the abundance of blessing
• Subtle compromise in alliances and unfinished high places
• Jehoram’s violent rule and the cost of drift
• Why grit fails and willingness to rely on God matters
• Simple practices to prioritize God’s word and guard against drift

Let’s prioritize the Word of God this year—hear it, love it, live it
