"A Good Example"
Then Elijah the prophet wrote Jehoram this letter:
"This is what the Lord , the God of your ancestor David, says: You have not followed the good example of your father, Jehoshaphat, or your grandfather King Asa of Judah. (2 Chronicles 21:12 NLT)
Jehoshaphat & Asa were godly kings. They were in the minority. Most of Israel's kings led them to worship foreign gods. Most of them did not obey the commands of the Lord or obey him. But these two kings did. They left a good example to be followed by future kings & future generations.
This Father's day, are we leaving a good example for our kids? Does the generation coming after us have to look outside of their own homes to find godly examples? Or, have we wholeheartedly devoted ourselves to the Lord in such a way that it will last & effect future generations?
