Man it is so awesome to read about Godly men from the Old Testament. King Jehoshaphat was one such man. He is the king of Judah and one of a few kings who actually sought the face of God. I want to focus on verses 1-12. Specifically two parts. First in verse 3 the Bible reads that King J (for short) “set himself to seek the Lord”. Wow that hits me right between the eyes. King J set himself to seek the Lord. He made it a priority to seek after God. He knew apart from God he was nothing. Just look at his prayer in the next few verses. I don’t know about you but as I think about my week, I see very few time where I have set myself to seek after God. I often let busyness or family or even just laziness take priority over my time with God. King J was a busy man and yet he set himself to seek the Lord. Then in verse 12 it reads, “Our eyes are upon you.” Question where are your eyes (not physical but the eyes of your spiritual heart) set upon?
Father I realize today that so often I put the things of this world before you. I must admit that to often my eyes are upon everything else in this life. Thank you for getting my attention today. Thank you for caring enough about me that you speak directly to my heart. Today may I fix my eyes on you? May I realize throughout this day how much I need you.
