2nd Chronicles 18:1. “Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.”
UNHOLY ALLIANCE. It may seem practical to plan ahead And do what seems to you alright. But it is much wiser to pray instead And take the time to get God’s light. For even though God has led till now – Tomorrow is another day. It is so important to remember how He guides us in a scriptural way.
Plans made by men who are sorrowful Can easily be formed by secret pride. Our hearts and others too are so deceitful We think we’re doing right by what we think inside. But there are principles we should not forget – And they guide our actions based on God’s Word. So before we act we should always let The Spirit of God direct as He would.
To some, together with those whose actions Show they ignore the Word of God – And think we can bring these divergent factions Together in alliance without the Lord: Only bring troubles that will affect all Because light and dark are not a good mix – Put together they’re like nightfall – And twilight is something men cannot fix.
A person may think this makes common sense – To plan for the future after we are long gone. But to interfere with the future coming hence Can easily lead us to do what is wrong. We may not feel the whole effect Of what we do - but our children will. The best we can do is teach them to respect What God says is right and to maintain it still.
“Heavenly Father, I do thank Thee for those who have gone before us. They did what seemed to them to be right at the time. Whether that is the cause of our present weakness or not, I don’t know. But I know Thou art God and can bring recovery and restoration to those who repent and return to Thee. I do acknowledge my criticisms and lack of urgent faithfulness. O God, return to us again and bring us back to a place there we can be used – if it will bring honor and glory to Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
