what is there to admire? or even dislike. his part of this tale is making a covenant and running security. it is good that he stood for what is right. and encouraged the others to do the same. to resemble jehoiada as a teacher and a leader...im not given any insight to how he was a teacher or leader. the only evidence is his student did what pleased god for as long as he lived. he does have influence on that but ultimately it was joash responding to god. too many times we see people fail and turn from god when so many people were trying to teach and lead them. its not a reflection on the teacher/leader. but i guess jehoiada did train a good king so he must have been pretty good. so i mean who wouldnt want to be "responsable" for raising up a good believer. i would like to have a powerfull impact on those i teach/lead.
god i bring before you my subjects and those that will be. and i ask that we all be blessed by you. bring to me who you would have and let me be that example for those onlookers. lord bring us into you and give us words and ears to teach and learn your great commands.
