NIV Devotions for Women - Week of November 11

The importance of making wise alliances is highlighted through the story of Jehoshaphat's ill-fated partnership with King Ahab, serving as a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of poor relationship choices. By examining our own relationships and considering how they may be impacting our spiritual well-being, individuals can take steps to cultivate stronger, more God-honoring connections that bring them closer to Him.

At Issue - Relationships

Verse:  2 Chronicles 18:1

You may not realize how important it is to make good alliances. Think about it. A corrupt business partner could send you to jail. A close friend who likes to bar-hop could cause you to lower your standards. An unsaved husband could divide your family. Jehoshaphat made a poor choice in allying himself with Ahab—a well-known evil king. Who are your business partners, closest friends and mentors? Take care that your most important relationships draw you closer to God instead of pulling you away from him.
