Chronicles 20:20, “And they rose early in the morning, and went
forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth,
Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of
Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established;
believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21And when he had
consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and
that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before
the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for
ever. 22And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set
ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir,
which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23For the
children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount
Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end
of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.”
The
enemies of Judah rose up against her. Through prayer and supplication
King Jehoshaphat and the people petitioned God for His intervention.
They placed their faith in God and He came to their aid ensuring them
that “the battle is the Lord’s.” What they needed to do was
follow His instructions. Their faith remained steadfast in the Lord
God Jehovah and He delivered them without a single skirmish. The
enemy destroyed themselves!
The
future is uncertain but our faith in God is steadfast! Time is
passing swiftly as all of creation marches quickly into eternity and
God’s judgment. What lies before us only our heavenly Father knows.
God knows where He is going and where He wants to lead us. He knows
what He desires to happen in our world today. Paul exhorted the
Church to pray for all men everywhere that they might lead a
peaceable life in godliness and honesty. God’s desire is for all
men to be saved. 1Timothy 2:4, “Who will have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” Our Faith In God
Remains Steadfast!
