“And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.”
2 Chronicles 13:17-18
A great battle was taking place between the men of Judah and the children of Israel. The men of Judah had not lost their commitment to God, but stood firm in their obedience to Him. On the other hand, the children of Israel had forsaken God and His commandments. When the battle began, Judah was surrounded. They knew that God was their help and cried out for deliverance. God showed up and Israel was defeated, even though they were more than double in number. We serve a God who notices our faithfulness to Him. When trouble surrounds us, He will come to our aid. We must keep doing what is right because God is on our side.❤️
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.”
Psalm 34:4 KJV
They looked unto him, and were lightened: And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.”
Psalm 34:5-6 KJV
