Thankful the Battle is the Lord’s!
Scripture reading for April 28th: 2nd Chronicles 17-21
Key Scriptures: 2nd Chronicles 20:15, 17, “He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. . . You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem.'”
King Jehoshaphat was in a hard place militarily. He was outnumbered and did not know what to do, so he prayed to God and looked for His help. God answered with this prophetic word of victory and encouragement. The battle was not Israel’s to fight, but God would bring the victory as they stood in faith!
Rejoicing in God’s Victory: “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1st Corinthians 15:57-58)
