Scripture Reading

                           2 Chronicles 20:5-15

 Quick thought:

“6 "O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you.

7 O our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?

12 O our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you."

Meditation

Be Still and Know that I am God:

The three questions of Jehosaphat, the king of Judah reflects his inner strength as the follower of God. The questions appear as a confession rather complaint. He starts his prayers acknowledging how great, awesome, powerful and wonderful the Lord is. Then he began to relate the specific mighty acts the Lord had performed in the past to protect His people and uphold the promises He had made them. And in finally presenting his request, He began by expressing His confidence that the Lord would handle the problem.

When we do ask God for help we should realize He hears us the first time we ask Him for something. God has a plan for our deliverance before the problem ever appears. Our part is to focus on Him and His mighty power, worshiping Him and praising Him for the manifestation of His solution and listening for a word or direction from Him.
