In the Midst of the Storm
Meditation on 2 Chronicles 20
 

Then some came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon Tamar” (which is En Gedi). (V2). What did Jehoshaphat do? And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.(V3) and he prayed ‘If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.’ 10 And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir—whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them— 11 here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit. 12 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.” . (V9-12) God answer their prayers And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.(V15)

 

Let us set ourselves seeking the Lord, with fasting and prayers. Knocking on the doors of His mercy. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” (Psalm 50:15)

Remember to pray and read your Bible daily
