Word of wisdom: And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their children and their wives. 2 Chronicles 20:13
Life point: When all Judah was assembled before the Lord in 2 Chronicles 20:13-17, Jahaziel began to prophesy and speak God’s direction to them.
I believe the Spirit of God came upon him because everyone was waiting on God. When we learn to seek God and wait on Him, He will answer us.
That answer may be very plain and simple, as Judah’s was. The Lord told Judah to not be afraid because the battle was not to be their battle, but His. That does not sound too mystical or deeply spiritual, but it was all they needed to hear.
The battle isn’t yours, but God’s. What good news! God did not say that there was nothing for them to do in the battle. He was saying He was going to show them their part. They could do it in the strength and wisdom of the Lord, but the battle was still His to win.
After God gave them that word of encouragement, He gave them a word of specific instruction. We are to wait on the Lord until He has told us what to do and then we are to do it in the strength He gave us while we waited on Him.
While the people of Judah were singing praise to God, He set an ambush against their enemies. What happened next was astounding.
The enemy soldiers slaughtered one another! Praise confused the enemy!
Just think about it child of God. The people of Judah set themselves to seek God rather than live in fear!
If you have to deal with difficult situations in life you have to keep your focus on God !
Prayer: Lord let my soul magnify You above all my circumstances in Jesus’ Powerful name!
