Because you have spared the man I said must be destroyed,20:42 The Hebrew term used here refers to the complete consecration of things or people to the Lord, either by destroying them or by giving them as an offering. now you must die in his place,

 “I have come because you have sold yourself to what is evil in the Lord’s sight.

“Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has done this, I will not do what I promised during his lifetime.

Jehoshaphat added, “But first let’s find out what the Lord says.”

“There is one more man who could consult the Lord for us, but I hate him. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me!

Jehoshaphat replied, “That’s not the way a king should talk! Let’s hear what he has to say.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to be obedient in my stillness and not overthink your plan. Give me discernment in my thoughts so only your desire is in me. Keep me humble and confident in your way and to seek your desire before I form mine. Help me to represent you well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
