When you think of Mothers Day and church, you don't immediately think "King Jehoshaphat." (In fact, I can't really think of anything that would prompt you to immediately think "King Jehoshaphat," for that matter).
But when I was planning out this series (trying to get through the rest of the Old Testament story by Christmas), I had to make some tough choices. One was to continue the series on Mothers Day, rather than prepare a special Mothers Day message, hence my text for Mothers Day is the reign of King Jehoshaphat.
So I prayed as a prepared my message for God to either tell me to throw my plan out and tell me to preach something else or to show me something appropriate for the occasion. And I believe God showed us something directly from the text that speaks in a very relevant way to the modern task of the Christian parent. I hope you will hear God as much as you listen as I did as I prepared.
