We explore King Jehoshaphat's disappointing final chapter and what it teaches us about our own tendency to return to unwise alliances after spiritual victories. Even biblical heroes like Jehoshaphat experienced cycles of obedience and drift, showing God's ongoing redemption for imperfect people.
• Jehoshaphat reigned 25 years and was initially faithful to God
• Despite earlier lessons, he formed another alliance with a wicked king (Ahaziah)
• God mercifully destroyed their trading ships but spared Jehoshaphat himself
• Matthew 6:33 reminds us to "seek first the kingdom of God" before making decisions
• God's throne of grace remains available whenever we stumble and need redemption
• Biblical narratives show cycles of redemption—we're all works in progress
