The One Year Bible - Day 171

Good old Jehoshaphat. Although he has decided to do something, the caveat was, "Let us see what the Lord says". Too often we all follow good ideas, even 'Christian' good ideas without seeing what the Lord says. Inevitably these end up in various levels of disaster and the same happened many times in Israel. We might end up with an ineffective mission, we might create a problem we might have to live with or something much worse. With so much at stake and with the ability to pray and seek God, why do we fail so often?
