Seek God, Even When Late
Commentators note that while Jehoshaphat should have sought God before the expedition, his decision to inquire of a prophet in crisis is a commendable act of faith. Unlike the despairing king of Israel, Jehoshaphat turns to God. This serves as a reminder that even when we've made mistakes, it is never too late to seek the Lord's guidance, especially when affliction drives us to Him.
