The Battle Is The Lord’s

2 Chronicles 20:15… Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

When faced with a problem or challenge, we tend to ask ourselves, “What am I going to do?” And well-meaning family members and friends will come along and ask, “What are you going to do?”

Jehoshaphat faced a multitude of enemies. But instead of focusing on what he would do, he prayed, “O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” (2 Chronicles 20:12)

When we turn our eyes to God, we will hear Him say, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s… You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord…” (2 Chronicles 20:15, 17)

But standing still is the last thing we want to do when the enemy is coming against us. It is also the most difficult thing to do because we feel that we cannot just stand around and do nothing — we must try to save the situation. But God wants us to stand still and see Jesus our salvation fight for us.

So what do you do the next time you are faced with a battle and don’t know what to do? Jehoshaphat sent his singers to the front of the army to proclaim, “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.” (2 Chronicles 20:21) Some people will wonder, “Does that mean that I just sing and don’t do anything else when I have a problem?” No, that is not what I am saying.

Do what the situation requires, but don’t worry and don’t trust in what you do. Like Jehoshaphat, rest and trust in His mercy that endures forever. When you do that, God will turn your battlefield into the Valley of Berachah. Berachah means “blessings”. The children of Israel gave the battlefield this name because it took them three days to gather all the spoils of war! God turned their situation into a great blessing! (2 Chronicles 20:25–26)

Do you have a battle to fight? Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!

Confession:
God wants me to stand still and see Jesus my salvation fight for me. Hallelujah

    When I am faced with a battle/situations I cannot handle instead of becoming anxious I should trust in the Lord
    I should respond and not react to the situation.
    My response will be
    To position myself – what will Jesus do in this situation?
    I will stand still – there is wisdom in quietness (power, inspiration and vision)
    I will see what God will do – the response of God will lead to divine strategy to overcome all situation and circumstances (for Jehoshaphat it is to sing for Jacob it is to use a certain stick that affects the way the animals gives birth, for the widow the wife 9f prophet it was a jar of oil).divine strategy produces victory without depending on human effort.

    The devil will always bring distractions or obstacles to come and shake our Faith. But when we stand still and seek God’s face, remembering Christ finished works has conquered it all. We realise as He is our Source we receive great Resources and Solutions to every battle through Christ to win. Standing still and seeing Christ is never to be underestimated, as it brings victory that lead to the Valley of Berachah. Thank You Lord for gracing us with Christ who we stand still to see in every situation. Hallelujah
