“The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals, but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, and not according to the practices of Israel. Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor. His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord. And furthermore, he took the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.”

2 Chronicles 17:3-6 ESV

All,

This stands out because the writer says, “His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord.” Our student ministers held a class yesterday for parents of 8th graders and they spoke about our children having the courage to walk with Jesus during High School years. Especially freshmen year since it sets the foundation for High school. Do we have that courage now as adults? Please pray that we and our friends lean on God for this courage. Please pray for Stacey Kessler.
