God will fight your battles

Yesterday I was listen to a sermon by Rev John Jenkins on the passage from 2 Chronicles 20 where Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites  came to wage war against Jehoshaphat.

The assurance given to Jehoshaphat is recorded in Chapter 20:15 -‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.


He outlined four important points:


  1. God is in control -  "Are you not the God who is in heaven"
  2. God's faithfulness in the past - Our God, did you not
  3. God hearsYou will hear us and save us
  4. Humility is key to approaching to God -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 on you.
I just want to add one more point:

5. God is able - "Will you not" - verse 12

What an encouragement when you are facing so many challenges in life. Emmanuel
