Today’s Thought “True Advocacy” G. Ward

2 Chronicles 20

¹⁷ You need not fight in this battle; take your position, stand and watch the salvation of the Lord in your behalf, Judah and Jerusalem.’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow, go out to face them, for the Lord is with you.”

Being afraid is certainly natural for the whole of humanity and our era has witnessed spiritual encouragement given throughout Holy God’s Word unto HIS own to absolutely trust in the guidance our Lord provides - that fear would turn into the joy of presence and whereas Judah’s leader Jehoshaphat embodied great trepidation from potential invasion with enemy forces (so numerous), he’d lead all the inhabitants with fasting and praying, while believing that what the Almighty did for the many spiritual predecessors, could also be his victory. The immeasurable magnitude of our Lord’s response of such stalwart supplications (*review our thesis) is written, that we’d be guided accordingly and to that end – “The Lord is my Light and my salvation: whom shall I Fear?”
