“Consulting King…”
Blessings folk!
The children of Israel did as the Lord commanded.
They arose early in the morning.
They went to the wilderness.
Look at what else they did.
The King spoke…
The King also did something else…
Then, this…
The King consulted with the people.
Really?
A rare thing.
Often leadership thinks that consultation is weakness.
Such is not the case.
The King consulted with the people.
They then “put the choir out front”.
Those who sang to the Lord…
Those who praised Him in holy attire…
They went before the army.
They went forth in praise to God Who had promised to deliver.
What did they declare?
“Give thanks to the Lord, for His lovingkindness is everlasting!”
May we do and declare the same.

2 Chronicles 20:20-21
20 They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed.”
21 When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the Lord and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, “Give thanks to the Lord, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.”
The King declared…
- listen to me
- put your trust in the Lord your God (not in me!)
- do so and you will be established
- put your trust in the Lord’s prophets (in His Word) and you will succeed.
