2 Chronicles 20:17
“You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.” NIV
This is a great story. At this point, Jehoshaphat is leading the people of Israel. He receives a report that three groups of people have joined forces and are on their way to make war on Jehoshaphat. He calls all of the people to a nationwide fast. And, all of the people of Judah came together in one place to pray to God.
Jehoshaphat tells God, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.” (v.12)
In response, God speaks through Jahaziel, and then ultimately solves the problem.
I love the example of faith here. All of the people came together in one place. Jehoshaphat did not go about arming them with the latest battle gear, or strategizing on how to beat down the armies that were on their way. Instead, he went straight to God.
Verse 12 is my favorite of this chapter. So often, I find myself not knowing what to do.
Today, as I earnestly seek His will for my life, I will keep my eyes on God.
365 Days of Peace 
Yesterday, I was able to put this to use. I had started down the road of battle preparation and amazingly I remembered to let God fight the battle because it was too much for me. He did, and the situation unfolded in a positive way. My problem is that I literally forget that God will do this for me. It felt really good not to do that. And I felt loved and strong instead of drained and defeated! I am going practice remembering not to exert the effort and to save it for something constructive.
