Even though Jehosophat was one of the better Kings of Judah, he sincerely worshiped the Lord and actively encourage his people to do so, it is a mystery why he formed an alliance with Ahab. He even married into his family. Scripture tells us that the Lord did not approve of this either. It seems Paul is aware of this failing of character when he writes to the Colossians, “be watchful” and implies we are not to be deceived. I must always be aware that I firstly belong to God, he bought me with his blood, I do not need to side with the world. My attitude and behaviour needs to be honouring to God but I am not to ‘hold hands’ with the world. There is a point where friendship with the world will make us compromise our relationship with God. I do not want to be guilty of that.
