God Wants To Fight Our Battles!

Scripture

2 Chronicles 20

12 O our God, won’t you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.”
17 “... stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!”

Observation

King Jehoshaphat prayed and asked God to save them. God answered his prayer and destroyed the armies that had marched against them.
21 After consulting the people, the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the Lord and praising him for his holy splendor. This is what they sang:

“Give thanks to the Lord;
his faithful love endures forever!”
22 At the very moment they began to sing and give praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting among themselves.
When you are in a real pickle and everything is against you: Pray and give thanks to the Lord. Trust in Him and watch Him fight the battle.

Application

I will thank the Lord today for all that He has done. I will thank Him for all that He is going to do.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for Melanie today that You touch her body and heal her. I pray that her husband will find work and that they will be able to get off of the street and have a home to raise their children. I pray that You provide for them. Thank You for fighting my battles for me. Thank You for blessing me and my family with so much. Your faithful love endures forever!
