“For The Lord Is With You”
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin ArticlesIn 2 Chronicles 20:12, we read — “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.”
When Judah’s King Jehoshaphat spoke those words, it was a matter of life and death. As a coalition of armies marched against Jerusalem, the people of Judah gathered to seek God’s guidance and help (2 Chronicles 20:1-4).
During threatening times of disruption and change, we need to ask, “Lord, what do You want to do with this moment?” And like King Jehoshaphat, we should begin our prayer with praise to our sovereign and powerful Father in heaven (2 Chronicles 20:5-9).
God told the king and his people:
“Do not be afraid nor dismayed ….. for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow go down against them ….. for the LORD is with you” (2 Chronicles 20:15-17).
In stressful, confusing situations, we might ask a worried “What do we do now?” But if the Lord is with us, our fear will soon be replaced with rest and peace (2 Chronicles 20:29-30).
