Wholehearted Judges
2 Chronicles 19:9
He gave them these orders: "You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.
Here Jehoshaphat is appointing judges for Jerusalem. Among them were Levites and priests, and the king's instructions hold them responsible for the spiritual well-being of the people. Their every judgement was to include a sermon.
I love this. So whole-hearted is Jehoshaphat himself that faithfulness is the first item in his job description for the judges.
God, make me so whole-hearted that You are my first thought.
