THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS

THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS.

 

2 Chronicles 20:15 - "He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s."

 

As we see what Haiti is going through, it can be very discouraging, and make us fearful. Often we are very stressed over all these things. At times like this, we need to remember, the battle is not ours, but God's. This attitude will transfer the wait of it all from us to God. Yet, we have a part in this.

 

2 Chronicles 20:17 - "You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”

 

If you read further on in this chapter, you will see that the army of Israel went out to face an army greater then them. Yet, they went out in faith, and praise with the worship team going before them.

 

If the battle is the Lord's, what are we to do?

We are to stand in prayer, faith, praise, and in obedience to God's Word.
