Yesterday we met a king who loved God and desired to follow after Him. Today I want us to look at verses 13-17. This is God’s response to the people and King J. This response is so wild. God tells them not to be afraid because this battle is not theirs but God’s. In verse 17 God tells them you will not have to fight this battle. Wow can you imagine. Put yourself in King J’s shoes. A huge army is coming to destroy you. You are in charge of all the people and you seek God’s advice and He tells you don’t worry you wont fight this battle. Man my first thought is yeah right, whatever!!!!! How in the world is that going to happen? Have you ever felt this way? Faced with something that looks so huge you have no idea what is going to happen. Then all of sudden you have a sense of peace because you remember God is in control. That is why seeking after God is vital to a life of victory in Christ. If we try to go it alone we will fail. If King J decided that God was crazy and went out to fight. I have not doubt they would have been destroyed. But instead King J follows God and the rest is history. Today set your eyes upon God because He will not fail you.
Father today give me a spirit of peace. Help to rest in you knowing that you are in control and that everything will work out. Teach me to follow after you and to obey your commands.
