2 Chronicles 20:15 (ESV): “And he said, ‘Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, “Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s.”’”
God is a mighty warrior, and He stands victorious against every enemy. It’s a comforting reality to know that all our battles belong to the Lord. He can’t lose!
After Jehoshaphat returned to Judah, the Moabites, Ammonites, and Meunites came to make war with him. He was greatly afraid, so Jehoshaphat set his face before God and proclaimed a fast throughout all of Judah. As they stood before the Lord, the Spirit came upon Jahaziel, and he proclaimed that Judah had nothing to fear, for God was with them. The battle belongs to Him.
What do you do when the enemy comes to make war against you? It’s natural to be afraid, but we must remember that God is on our side. We have nothing to worry about. All we need to do is trust God and obey what He says. Obedience and faith are where victory is found. If you belong to God, the battle is not yours; it belongs to Him. Press in and watch Him work. He’s got you! Amen?
Father, we thank You that every battle we face is Yours! Help us never to run into battle on our own. May we seek You and obey Your voice. We pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
