2 Chronicles 19-23 The Grace of our God

King Jehoshaphat might have taken a wrong turn when he went into battle with King Ahab and saw him mortally wounded. He may have remembered the words of Micaiah that Ahab would die in battle. That image must have crossed his mind many times just as when we disobey God. We will have to live with that the rest of our lives. When someone we know dies, it is heartache, but more so if we have been a part of his demise as Jehoshaphat was. The scriptures are silent on his thoughts but we do read that Jehu came and admonished him and that was a turning point in his life. From then on he served and worshiped Yahweh. Not only that but he took advantage of his position to draw the nation back to Yahweh. 

What has transpired in your life that might have similar consequences but when you turned back to God, His grace was sufficient and He used that to teach us the power of forgiveness and the blessing of His grace. This is a good lesson on the blessings of God and His grace.
