I don't know your thoughts on Jehoida, but I think it's clear he's not a man who reads his own press clippings!
Jehoida was at the top of the world. Under his command, he'd just led the people to return to what God had set in motion from the get go. "No other gods before me" was where the ten commandments begin, and Jehoida was putting that into play. He killed the false prophet and tore down the false gods and their shrines. He was riding a wave of public emotion. He easily could have implied that if were ruler, life would be different. he could've performed another coup and possibly gained the throne. Instead, he chose to serve as high priest, and Joash's council. Don't miss this!
He turned the throne over to a seven year old kid and chose to serve him!
Pretty significant. While I may have mixed emotions about how Jehoida went about things, I'm thoroughly impressed when it comes to his knowing his role!
May we never thrust ourselves into an opportunity simply because it looks good. And may we always be willing to give up what was never ours to begin with!
