Very little is said of Jehoshaphat here. We read that he did right in the eyes of the Lord. He made peace with Israel. He removed the remnant of idolatry left in Judah. He made some ships that broke. He did some things that worked, and some that didn’t! But for all of time he will be remembered as a King who did right. Many debate Ahab’s actions in going to war. One prophet said go, this is God’s will. Another said don’t go, you will die. Who should he listen to? And if you over think it, you can really get confused here on what is right.
To you and I, only one thing seems right. He shouldn’t have gone to war. God allowed the prophet to show him this. But to those motivated by things other than God’s will, “right” can become confusing.
Do Right. You will do some things in life that are a success. You will do other things that are not. No matter what, just DO RIGHT.
It is not complicated or hard to figure out.
