Summary
2 Chronicles 20 After this the Moabites and Ammonites, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat for battle. Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A great multitude is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the sea… Then Jehoshaphat was afraid. Are you afraid today? There may be something that overwhelms you. Something that is crushing you. When you rise up and when you lie down to sleep there is a great weight on your heart. You are thinking, planning, working, pushing, trying to fix it, busy, running around, sweating. What does Jehoshaphat do? He set his face to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah assembled to seek help from the Lord. [He says to God in prayer] “we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” They fast. they pray. They admit their powerlessness. They put their eyes on God. This is what we must do. Fast. pray. admit our powerlessness. and put our eyes on God. God says to Jehosaphat: ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s… You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf.’ When we put our eyes on God and seek him in prayer and fasting, we are recognizing that the fight is his fight and only he can win it. When they hear this promise of God as we hear it in the scriptures, they believe and they worship even BEFORE they have been delivered. (Jehoshaphat) appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the Lord, for his steadfast love endures forever.” Before they have been delivered they worship God. We must believe in the word of God before he delivers and we must worship him before he delivers. And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed… they looked toward the horde, and behold, there were dead bodies lying on the ground; none had escaped. We worship the Lord and the Lord delivers. Our suffering and trial may last many days. We may weep and worship many days but the salvation of the Lord WILL BE REVEALED. We shall be delivered by our Lord and Savior.
