Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What shall we then say to these things? If God <\/strong>be<\/strong><\/em> for us, who <\/strong>can be<\/strong><\/em> against us?<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Romans 8:31<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read today\u2019s key verse. As you read this verse,\nrecognize that when God is for us, no one can stand against us. But the\nimportant thing to understand \u2013 just when<\/em><\/strong> it is that God is for us. God\nis with the people who seek to obey God\u2019s commands. \u201cIn\nthat I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and\nto keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest\nlive and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither\nthou goest to possess it\u201d (Deuteronomy 30:16). Also see: \u201cThe young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that\nseek the LORD shall not want any good thing<\/em>\u201d (Psalm 34:10).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>As you look at today\u2019s lesson, understand the importance\nof not only hearing and learning God\u2019s Words, but that it is imperative to\nimplement God\u2019s Word in our lives. Then when the enemies oppose, we can trust\nGod to fight our battles for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>In our last lesson, we considered King Rehoboam a\nbad king, for he forsook God. We also remembered his son, King Abijam (a bad\nking) and King Asa (a good king). We learned about many good things they did\nfor Judah.\nHowever, King Asa was the king that did that which was good and right in the\neyes of the Lord his God. He put away the false idols and served God only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this lesson, we remember\nthat when King Asa died, his son, Jehoshaphat, became king of Judah.\nHe too, was a good king. Once he became king, he eliminated idol worship. He\nthen strengthened the cities of Judah\n\u2013 physically and spiritually. By placing mighty soldiers in the different\ncities, he strengthened them physically. When he sent princes, priests, and\nLevites into every city teaching the Word of God to the people, he strengthened\nthem spiritually.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When King Jehoshaphat helped wicked King Ahab in battle (the battle in which King Ahab died), King Jehoshaphat almost lost his life. When he cried out to God, God delivered him. For that alliance with wicked King Ahab (and also with King Jehoram), Jehoshaphat was rebuked by the prophet of the Lord. After that rebuke, he sent judges throughout the land to be sure the people not only knew the Word of the Lord, but that God\u2019s Word was implemented in their lives. Then the enemy came up against them. We will see what happens to a people who place their trust in God \u2013 not man. When King Ahab\u2019s son became king of Israel, he asked for King Jehoshaphat\u2019s help against Moab. God gave the promise of victory through his prophet Elisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember again:<\/strong>\u00a0 the Chronicles do not dwell upon the wrongdoings of the kings, but what good they accomplished for Judah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
