Good morning, hope you have a great day serving the King. I'm thankful God allows us to serve him. 

Our Fire-starter this morning comes from 2 Chronicles 19. Our Fire-starter thought is: let's look at the good things about others. 

Often times you hear the bad about people and very seldom do you hear the good about people. 

Jehu comes to Jehoshaphat and is upset with him because he had made a league with Ahab. 

He states in verse 3 nevertheless there are good things found in thee... 

He states the bad but then he states there are good things found in thee. 

Just a reminder, we all mess up and if we are not careful we will get so focused on the evil someone has done that we forget the good that someone has done.

I'm glad Jehu didn't stop with the bad he mentioned the good!!! 

Let it be a reminder to me and you this morning always stating the bad in people not only gives you a bad reputation but also gives them a bad name. 

Today's encouragement is to find some good in someone!!! 

You say brother Justin it's hard to find something good in someone that has done you wrong or hates you. Sometimes it is but here is the thing by doing good you will heap coals of fire upon their heads. 

Hope you have a "finding good in someone" day!!! 

2 Chronicles 19:1-11 KJV

And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. [2] And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord ? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord. [3] Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God. [4] And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the Lord God of their fathers. [5] And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, [6] And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. [7] Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it : for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. [8] Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem. [9] And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. [10] And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the Lord, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass. [11] And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord ; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good.
