In today's text is one of my favorite kings. Is is David? I like David he would be number one. Is it Solomon? Solomon was filled with splendor and he would be second. My third favorite king is very obscure. His name......
Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat was a good king in the eyes of the Lord in today's reading, in the heat of battle he recommends..."first seeking the Lord's counsel." Pretty good advice for leaders. Later, I will tell you a second reason Jehoshaphat rates so high in my book.
"So he asked Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses." But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "First seek the counsel of the LORD."
From earthly kings we move into the Gospel of John with the KING OF KINGS who is washing feet! What a Kingdom of service and humility that even our Lord would serve!
