Contributing Writer: Holly Rigos
No matter how dire the circumstances, you can be redeemed!
Jehoshaphat inherited a kingdom and land of wickedness. According to 1 Kings 15:24, he was the son of Asa, and the fourth king of the Kingdom of Judah, in succession to his father.
It is said that the Lord was with him because he followed the ways of David.
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David before him. He did not consult the Baals. 2 Chron 17:3
Jehoshaphat spent the first part of his reign fortifying the Kingdom of Judah with military prowess and abolishing idol worship. He was on the fast track to building a bigger and better kingdom that was obedient to the One True God.
Yet, at these moments of prosperity and growth, man often relies on his own understanding and makes a fatal flaw in judgment. Jehoshaphat allied himself with the wickedest king Israel had known – Ahab.

After enduring two family members succumbing to cancer, two family friends were killed in the line of duty only then to watch my own husband battle Lymphoma in his 30s. I was at a crossroads with my faith - I could either TRUST GOD or not. I choose to TRUST and CAPTURE our legacy for God’s glory.
