Word for Today: Stand Still......
Scripture: Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, not be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. 2 Chr 20:17
Set yourselves, stand still, and see.....
King Jehosphat had a great multitude of his enemies that decided to plot together against him and his kingdom. But the king didn't go hide or cry about his trouble, the bible says that he began to seek God. That is what we fail to do many times when we are going thru and our enemies have rose up against us. Instead of telling it to God, we tell our friends and neighbors or anyone else who will listen. But Jehosphat told God and then waited on God to tell him what to do. There was in the midst of the king a singer and who was anointed by God to deliver the message of hope to the king and all the children of Israel. He told them that they didn't even have to fight THIS particular battle, but that God would fight for them. I believe that there are some battles that we HAVE to fight and God has given us the weaponry to do so. We war in the spirit nonetheless. However, sometimes God just wants us to be obedient and get in the mode of victory. Then be still, don't get out of place and wait on God to move for you. Now it won't be easy to be still, so God told them to not to fear or be dismayed for the He was with them and would deliver them from their enemies. The next thing they did is they just started praising the Lord for deliverance and salvation. There may be some things in your life that you have come to a point that you NEED God more than ever. As humans, we always tend to want to get involved and to give God a helping hand. But this battle is not YOURS, so just start praising him and don't get afraid or dismayed. There is a song that our church choir use to sing, although we don't sing very often because of one choir member who will start shouting and dancing every time we start the song...you know who you are. Nevertheless, the song says, "Get up, step back and watch God move."
Have A Blessed Day!
