We do not know what to do
But we are looking to You, Lord, for HELP...
This proud oppressor has come to taunt,
Taunt defeat, taint loss, taint with a boastful victory shout...
But You, Lord, tell me something different as I cry to you for HELP...
Softly You whisper,
"Do not be afraid...
Do not be discouraged...
This battle is not yours,
This proud oppressor has come to taunt Me!!!
He has come to tread on My territory and oppress My property...
Yes, you must know that this battle is Mine..."
"Now march out, dear one,
March on knowing that I am with you!"
When Jehoshaphat did not know what to do,
He called out to God for HELP..
And even though that proud oppressor continued to taunt Jehoshaphat with his mighty threats...
Jehoshaphat heard the Word of the Lord,
And now, he knew and he believed...
He told his army to, "March out and believe."
Believe that God was with them,
Believe the Word of the Lord that was given them,
Believe the promise of God Most High...
Jehoshaphat did not wait for the victory to shout his praise,
No, he appointed singers to march ahead of the army,
And shout the praises of God...
They marched forward singing and believing,
And they watched God destroy that enemy
Totally
Even causing them to leave all their riches behind.
Jehoshaphat and his army did not begin their battle in fear,
Neither did they begin hoping for victory,
No, they began their march forward believing, knowing and singing the victory that was to be theirs.
They had cried out to their God for HELP,
They heard His Word, His promise,
And they believed...
The result..
Victory on all sides,
With the enemy having to pay with defeat and great loss...
When the enemy comes to taunt, dear friend
And the storm looks wild and fearful,
And we do not know what to do...
May we call out to our God, for HELP.
He will speak His Word...
And we can march on, knowing
That He is with us and He is fighting this battle!!!
Yes, and may we always be singing His praises!!!
2 Chronicles 20
