Learning from Jehoshapath (4)

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation; And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.” 2 Chronicles 20v14-15 (KJV)

After Jehoshapath and the children of Judah sought the face of the Lord, when a multitude of people from different armies came to attack them, then the Lord hearkened and sent a word to them. He told them several things, He said, don’t be afraid, don’t be dismayed by reason of this great multitude. I recall when an army came against Elisha; 2 Kings 6v15-17 (KJV) saying “And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” May God open our eyes to see His awesomeness and His help for us. Hallelujah. God also sent this message, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Amen.
