Victory comes through trust in God; 2 Chronicles 20:1-20

2 Chronicles 20:1-20
Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites came to make war on Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat resolved斷然的 to inquire of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek him.
Jehoshaphat cried to the Lord in front of the temple of the Lord,"We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you."
Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.
Jehoshaphat said to his people, "Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful"
There is no account of this war in Kings. Judah's trust in God is amply充分 vindicated.
Again and again the Chronicler stresses that victory comes through trust in God.
Why?
Jehoshaphat knew that the help is from the Lord, so he resolved inquired to the Lord.
For the battle is not ours, but God's. So as the war on the world or county election in Taiwan are in God's hand.
Have faith in the Lord, who will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful. Thank Lord I trust in you.
How?
In Him I trust! Victory comes through trust in God.
