Then the Spirit of the LORD came on Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite and descendant of Asaph, as he stood in the assembly.
He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel.
You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.’ ”
Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the LORD 2 Chronicles 20:14-18
Today I am surrounded by a plethora of circumstances and challenges which are overwhelming me. Today I am in a crisis. There is a sense of powerlessness and an inability to reason with these challenges. There is an amount of insecurity and fear that is present with me today. I do not know what to do. I do not know anyone who can help me. Today I understand and know that God allows these circumstances and crisis so that he can demonstrate that he alone is God. These situations allow me to know the living God. It is in this experience that God will allow me the opportunity to seek His face and His face alone. It is Him alone that can overwhelm the forces that are challenging me. Today I understand and know that although my feelings and fear are present they can never override my faith. I know Lord that you have the final word and say concerning these challenges. You, Lord, are ruler over Heaven and Earth. You are sovereign and you will rule forever and ever. Today I present it all to you because the battle is not mine it is your Lord. Hallejuah !!Amen.
