The Battle Belongs to God
2 Chronicles 20:3-4 New King James Version
3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set [a]himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.
Jehoshaphat feared the great multitude coming against him. But what did he do next? He set himself to seek the Lord (v.3).
When fear takes over, our best choice is to look to God for help.
THE KING'S PRAYER
2 Chronicles 20:12 New King James Version
12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."
The phrase, "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you", is one of the most touching expressions of trust in God to be found anywhere in the Bible.
GOD'S PROMISE
2 Chronicles 20:15 New King James Version
15 And he said, "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.
The threat was real – there really was a great multitude dedicated to destroying Judah. Yet the command was to not be afraid nor dismayed, because the battle was God’s battle.
Prayer illuminates God's will and anchors it with a promise.
Engaging in prayer helps you discover God's plan, backed by His steadfast promises.
Praise is a declaration of faith, knowing that the battle belongs to God, and that He always delivers on what He has promised.
