“This One Belongs to God!”

In 2 Chronicles 20:10, King Jehoshaphat faces an overwhelming evil force…three countries/provinces have joined battle against Judah…the King of Ammon, the King of Moab, and the King of Mount Seir. Judah is “way outnumbered.” Have you ever felt that way? Outnumbered? We have, many times. Here, King Jehoshaphat stood in the gap and had all of his people fast and pray…then, he lifted his hands to Heaven and prayed, “Oh our God, wilt not thou judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.” v.12 The Lord responds, “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” 2 Chronicles 20:15

There are times when we must fight a battle and do “all we can do,” but when “all we can do” is not enough, it’s time to bring in the “heavy”…God! We all have these big, overwhelming battles to fight, but when it is overwhelming, God steps in and says, “This one belongs to Me!”

“And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.” v. 22

So lift your hands and begin to sing and praise God, for He has already won! Sherry
