“And Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, because Jehoiada the priest instructed him.” II Kings 12:2
Question: “Does anyone find success in life without the help of someone else?”
Before us in II Kings 12 is the overview of the great success of King Jehoash. We see greater detail in II Chronicles 22.
Here is a King who is able to see His nation experience reform spiritually. Here is a king who is able to see his people become a giving people in the reform of the temple. And here is a king who started as a kid!!!
The last part is amazing to me, “he started as a kid.” Bottom line: “There was a man behind the curtain.” The priest Jehoiada followed the Lord and he mentored this young king to follow the Lord.
Think it through:
This is heavy on my heart this day. We need more people behind the curtain who will be willing to mentor others!!!
I want to challenge you to get involved in this work of mentoring others!!! It is this work that truly can be used of God to make wide sweeping reform in the work of the Lord.
- Pray for the Lord to place someone in your path that you can mentor.
- Put together a mentoring program for your church.
- Recruit others to join you in the work that has potential that is so amazing.
- Be the first in your church to mentor someone.
