Leaders with Resolve

2 Kings 4-5; Psalms 83; 1 Timothy 2

“Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, ‘A vast army is coming against you…’ Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord…”

2 Chronicles 20:2-4

One of the key responsibilities of leaders is to define reality for those they lead.

Is everything fine? 

Or, are we in trouble? 

Or, is this the time to stop everything we are doing and respond to the need?

Jehosophat, when faced with a large invading army, resolved to inquire of the Lord. He understood this would not just be him personally inquiring of the Lord, but all of Judah would need to humble themselves before the Lord and seek his face.

What would it take for us, our people, to respond to our desperate circumstances that way?

Where are the leaders who resolve to inquire of the Lord?

“Lord Jesus, I repent for not responding to the urgent spiritual reality around me with corporate intercession, for your glory.”
