Reproof and Restoration

Read:  Psalm 112 / Proverbs 20 / 2 Chronicles 18 / Ephesians 4

 

Psalm 112:1 ~ Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

Proverbs 20:8 ~ A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

2 Chronicles 18:1 ~ Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.

Ephesians 4:1 ~ I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you… walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.

 

Let God be feared instead of man;

He scatters evil with His eyes.

We need God’s purging and His plan,

Without which we cannot be wise.

 

Jehoshaphat’s unwise connection

With Ahab was a foolish choice,

But God’s reproof and His correction

Restored him to obey His voice.
