The Wrecked Fleet
2 Chronicles 20:35-37
And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:…


I. THE DISASTER TO JEHOSHAPHAT'S SHIPPING.

II. THE CAUSE OF THIS DISASTER. A judgment from Heaven. If Jehoshaphat had been a mere man of the world probably this disaster would not have occurred, but God would not allow one of His own servants to prosper in such an undertaking.

III. THE LESSON WHICH THE DISASTER TEACHES. Do not choose your associates amongst those who do not fear God. Always safest to keep under Christian influences. You will do well even to sacrifice a measure of financial interest and worldly prospect rather than be associated in business with a man who is out of all sympathy with you in religion.

(J. Thain Davidson, D.D.)
