SCRIPTURE: 2 Kings 6-7; 2 Chr. 20; 1 Tim. 3
2 Kings 7:35-37
Late in life Jehoshaphat formed a trading syndicate with Ahaziah king of Israel—which was very wrong of him to do. He went in as partner with him to build ocean-going ships at Ezion Geber to trade with Tarshish. Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah preached against Jehoshaphat’s venture: “Because you joined forces with Ahaziah, God has shipwrecked your work.” The ships were smashed and nothing ever came of the trade partnership.
OBSERVATIONS: Partnerships with the wrong people result in failure.
APPLICATION: Joey, be careful who you team with. You will be known by their actions as well as your actions together.
PRAYER: God, show me your partners. I want to do your work and be on your team. Through Christ, Amen.
