Read Scriptures: 2 Kings 8:16-9:37
Situation: With Jehoshaphat as a father, Jehoram had a good example to follow. When he became king, however he foolishly chose to marry the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel {probably as a political alliance}. This daughter Athalian, brought evil practices and the need for God's judgemental to the Southern Kingdom.
Observation: If we purposely ignore God's desire for us, we will find ourselves candidates for His discipline.
Application: Are you troubled by the evil that surrounds you? Leaders or managers who don't honor God? The suffering of the innocent? The influence of sin? All of these can weigh you down and make you down and make you doubt. God's ability to intervene. Remember: God has perfect timing. He has a plan to judge and punish evil. Bring your discouragement to Him and rely on His victory.
