chronological day 164 :)

Today, we'll read 1 Kings 22:10-28, 2 Chronicles 18:9-27, 1 Kings 22:29-35, 2 Chronicles 18:28-34, 1 Kings 22:36-40, 1 Kings 22:51-53, 2 Chronicles 19, and 2 Chronicles 20:1-30.  Come on back and let's visit - what stands out to you today?

Macaiah continues to tell the truth, though the king is not pleased.

"I saw all of Israel scattered over the hills,
    sheep with no shepherd.
Then God spoke: ‘These poor people
    have no one to tell them what to do' " (1 Kings 22:17 MSG)

It’s sad when he prophesies that the people are like sheep without a shepherd - when God Himself is willing to be their Shepherd!

“As long as Jehoshophat reigned, peace reigned” (2 Chron 20:30 MSG)

What a powerful testimony. Also, when Jehoshophat called his fast, I noticed that everyone participated - it reminded of how Moses led the people by his example.
