We should protect not only the nature (character, or\nattributes) but also the wisdom that we allow into our hearts. Why? What we\nallow into our heart is the source for the kind of life we live; the kind of\nperson we become. That is one reason why when someone becomes saved; we say\nthey have asked Jesus into their heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be encouraged to consider\nyour heart as the place where a special treasure is kept \u2014 a place to be well\nguarded. It would also be good to understand the importance of placing God\u2019s\nWord into your heart (see Psalm 119:11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emphasis: <\/strong>We are to learn from the failings of King Jehu. We are to\nkeep our hearts with all diligence \u2014 always continuously hiding God\u2019s Word in\nour hearts so we will know what to do (unlike King Jehu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lesson Summary: <\/strong>As we begin this lesson, we must remember that\nJehoram (also called Joram) reigned in Israel.\nElisha had sent one of the prophets to anoint a new king of Israel,\nJehu, even while Jehoram was still king. When Jehu was anointed, he was also\ngiven a very grave message. He was to kill Ahab\u2019s entire household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will see the process that Jehu followed being established as the new king of Israel. Jehu went to Jezreel and killed King Jehoram (and Ahaziah, king of Judah, who was visiting King Jehoram). He continued by having Jezebel killed. Ahab had 70 sons living in Samaria, and they were also killed. Jehu did not stop there, he continued by killing every Baal worshiper in Israel. He then had all of the images burned, and they broke down the house of Baal. When Jehu died, we find his son, Jehoahaz, becomes the twelfth king of Israel. He reigned for 17 years in Israel, and \u201cfollowed the sins of Jeroboam.\u201d It was a greatly oppressed nation while he was king. When he died, his son, Joash (Jehoash), became the thirteenth king of Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we read about all of the good that Jehu did, we will find an area in which he miserably failed. This is to be a lesson to us.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-5-Questions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Year Two Quarter One - Lesson 5 Questions (opens in a new tab)\">Year Two Quarter One &#8211; Lesson 5 Questions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Year Two Quarter One - Lesson 5 Children's Worksheets (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-5-Childrens-Worksheets.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Year Two Quarter One &#8211; Lesson 5 Children&#8217;s Worksheets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" src=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-5-1024x703.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1263\" srcset=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-5-1024x703.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-5-300x206.jpg 300w, http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-5-768x527.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You could have them make a journal including verses reminding them the importance of fearing the Lord and walking in His ways.
