2 Chronicles 20:29-30
New International Version(NIV)
29 The fear of
God came upon all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard how
the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 And the kingdom
of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every
side.
1)
God occupies first place in
everything of their life. Raising children, business,
everything!
2) His Word is the Final Word, its
not just another opinion.
3) Worship is deep and meaningful,
and not superficial, not entertainment, but deep contact with God.
4) The values embraced will transcend
culture, not be based upon it!
5) The integrity of the family is protected
and not compromised.
Jehoshaphat was a man who followed God, and all 5 of these signs
were present with him and his people. God gave them peace and
was with them. We must follow this example to take God
seriously.
