2 Chronicles 20:15
15… Do not be afraid nor dismayed
because of this great multitude,
for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
When faced with a problem or challenge, we tend
to ask ourselves, “What am I going to do?” And
well-meaning family members and friends will
come along and ask, “What are you going to do?”
Jehoshaphat faced a multitude of enemies. But
instead of focusing on what he would do, he
prayed, “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.” (2 Chronicles
20:12)
When we turn our eyes to God, we will hear Him
say, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of
this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but
God’s... You will not need to fight in this battle.
Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord…” (2 Chronicles 20:15, 17)
But standing still is the last thing we want to do
when the enemy is coming against us. It is also
the most difficult thing to do because we feel that
we cannot just stand around and do nothing —
we must try to save the situation. But God wants
us to stand still and see Jesus our salvation fight
for us.
So what do you do the next time you are faced
with a battle and don’t know what to do? Jehoshaphat sent his singers to the front of the
army to proclaim, “Praise the Lord, for His mercy
endures forever.” (2 Chronicles 20:21) Some
people will wonder, “Does that mean that I just
sing and don’t do anything else when I have a
problem?” No, that is not what I am saying.
Do what the situation requires, but don’t worry
and don’t trust in what you do. Like Jehoshaphat,
rest and trust in His mercy that endures forever.
When you do that, God will turn your battlefield
into the Valley of Berachah. Berachah means
“blessings”. The children of Israel gave the
battlefield this name because it took them three
days to gather all the spoils of war! God turned
their situation into a great blessing! (2 Chronicles
20:25–26)
Do you have a battle to fight? Stand still and see
the salvation of the Lord!
