For the battle is not yours,but God's

2 Chronicles 20:1-30
After this, the Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites[a] came to wage war against Jehoshaphat.
Then Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the temple of the Lord in the front of the new courtyard
Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
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.
 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise Him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever."
On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, where they praised the Lord. This is why it is called the Valley of Berakah to this day.
The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
There is no account of this war in Kings. Judah's trust in God is amply vindicated. The invaders quarrel among themselves and leave the spoil to Judah.
Why?
Peace and victory belong to the Lord, God gives his people peace and property.
God is trustworthy when Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the temple of the Lord.  
Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever. Praise to the Lord!

約沙法知道依靠耶和華，所有猶大人都出來尋求神。因為之前派人到各地教導人，所以全國的人都來尋求神的幫助。
約沙法的禱告分4部份
1.耶和華是萬國萬邦的主。各國都在神掌控下
2.照神的應許來禱告
3.引用所羅門的禱告
4.向神表明，我是軟弱的，離開主什麼都不能做。全然謙卑。
只有擺陣，不要打仗。站在前面的是唱詩班。他們大大經歷得勝。外國看了都害怕。
危機中考驗人是否信服神，試驗人的信心，在試練中認識神。什麼都不要做，真的完全放手，放心不害怕，在強敵下。如此就可以經歷神的得勝。看看人是否完全順服。就是要人全然放下。
人是否在災難中、病患中放下交給給，在敵人刀口下，槍口前面，我們可以完全放心交託神嗎？

How?
Praise to the Lord and give thanks to the Lord in any circumstances. Real faith is to do nothing but pray to the Lord.
