2 Chronicles 17 - Doing some things right

Jehoshaphat is a king that gets some things right.  First, he takes care of some national security issues.  Secondly, he sends out teams of instructors to teach the Torah to people.  Third, the infrastructure is strong with tribute from other countries and supplies.  Yes, things are going well and God is blessing.  God is pleased with Jehoshaphat's devotion - not his skill as a military leader, an administrator, nor as a city planner.  That is what the Lord truly looks for - that we would give Him our devotion.
