THEME: REST IN GOD

2 Chronicles 20:30 NIV

And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.”

INSIGHT

-This chapter is probably the most referenced and loved chapter in this book. It explains how the Lord grants victory to those who trust in Him. King Jehosphaphat was facing the greatest external threat of his reign, great multitudes from the Moabites, Ammonites and Syria attempted to crush Judah and its inhabitants. King Jehoshaphat humbled himself before the Lord and the result was great victory and rest for his kingdom. The promise of the Lord through the prophet Jahaziel is a comfort to believers of this age who face hopeless situations. 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” (2 Chronicles 20:15). This is great comfort even as we submit our troubles and distress to the Lord for He will surely give us peace and rest in everything.


PRAYER

Almighty Father in the mighty Name of Jesus, we come before Your throne of grace this day to exalt Your Name and praise You. You are Great and greatly to be praised. We are grateful for all You have done for us and for Your unending mercies and kindness. Father we commit our lives and all our worries and troubles to You. We pray that You shall give us rest in all our lives and all our matters. May You take over all our battles for the battle belongs to You. May You grant us peace from our enemies and all who pursue us just as You did for Jehoshaphat. May You fight for us and our nation and grant us peace economically, politically, spiritually, financially, socially and in spheres. May You keep us in perfect peace for our minds are focused on You. We trust in You Lord for we know that You are able. We pray this in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
