JEHOSHAPHAT: A LIFE OF
OBEDIENCE
LESSON TEXT?II Chronicles IT: Id. 9-11.
GOLDEN TEXT?But seek ye first the
kingdom ot God and his righteousness.?
Matthew 6:33.
Obedience is one of the old-fashioned
virtues which has been pushed
aside in our present mad rush of
self-expression. It needs to be revived
if we are to have a happy,
contented, and useful people. The
lesson for today affords an excellent
opportunity to give class members
a right perspective. Many regard
obedience as something which is ex- j
flCtpH h" ?1 J 1
? uiuoc who uesire 10 nave j
J authority over us, but as a matter
i of fact it io c principle established
by God for the right and orderly
conduct of life, the observation of
which results in blessing and prosperity,
and the ignoring of which
brings chaos, fighting, bitterness,
and disappointment. Obedience to
parents, to the law of man, and to
the law of God should be taught and
exemplified by us, even as it was by
Jehoshaphat. Obedience in his life
made him
I. A Good Son (vv. 1, 3, 4).
He followed his father Asa and his
forefather David insofar as they had
: followed God. Apart from God and
the influence of the Christian faith,
the tendency is quite the other way. ,
Frequently we see that a father who
i came up from poverty by his own
diligence and ability will have a
! wastrel son who amounts to nothing,
I or even worse, one that ruins himself
and others. Blessed is the son
i who has a godly father and who has
j sense enough to follow in his steps
I in obedience to God.
II. A Capable Administrator (vv.
I 2, 5, 12).
| Jehoshaphat faced real problems.
| The nation was prospering, but there
were many difficult questions of for
: eign relations ana in domestic affairs.
Especially was he concerned
about their fellowship with the sister
nation of Israel. Idolatry was still
common in the land, new territory
had to be consolidated and fortified.
The man who is obedient to God's
law and whose heart is lifted up toward
Him may expect that all his
faculties will be stimulated, and
i that, furthermore, he will have the
guidance of God in the discharge of
his duties. This is true not only of
kings and national leaders, but of
each one of us. If we trust in God
and are obedient to His guidance.
He will bring about astonishing results
in the lives of any one of us.
III. A True Worshiper (vv. 3, 6).
He walked in the ways of his forefathers
in his obedience to God. A
man does not need to be a blind
worshiper of the good old days to
realize that America could profit by
walking in the ways of those of cur :
forefathers who walked with God.
Note also that Jehoshaphat had a
real personal spiritual experience of
his own. "His heart was lifted up
in the ways of the Lord" (v. 6). Spiritual
exaltation makes a man better
fitted to live in the daily round of
life where he must keep his feet on
the ground. There is a dearth of
new personal spiritual experiences in
our time.
IV. A Wise Educator (v. 9).
Here was a real program of relig- i
ious education. A wise teacher
knows that it is not enough to remove
the bad, he must replace it
with the good. Jehoshaphat tore
down the places of heathen worship,
but he substituted the teaching of
the Word of God. That kind of a
program of nation-wide Christian
education would be tremendously i
worth-while in this year of our Lord !
1939 and within the confines of our
own beloved country.
Read verses 7 and 8 and you will
note that most of the leaders in this
teaching campaign were laymen.
The priests were evidently for the
most part not interested. This has ,
all too often been so, but let not
that deter the layman from going
ahead in God's name.
V. A Respected Ruler (w. 5. 10
11).
His own people gave him the recognition
of love and loyalty (v. 5).
The jealous nations around him were
afraid of him, for they knew that
God was with him (v. 10). This
was what would be in our day regarded
as a rather unusual means
of national defense, but note that it
was tremendously effective. Would
that America were a nation united
in loving obedience to God's law.
Then would our enemies be afraid
because God's hand would be upon
us for good.

Thanks, Mrs. J. B., for that suggestion,
and here are two covers
that you might like to try. To
make the contrasting edge for the
round one, stitch two-inch strips
together in points as at A, trim as
at B clipping between the points
then turn right side out. Pull out
smoothly and press, then gather
1 as at C. Stitch to one section of
the cover as at D, then stitch the
two sections together leaving an
opening for the cushion.
To make a pattern for a modernistic
patchwork cover, cut a
rectangle of nanpr. thpn HiwWo
