“The battle is not yours, but God’s.”
— 2 Chronicles 20:15
Happy Tuesday, friends! God is so good to give us another day – let’s live it well for Him💜 Today’s devo, borrowed from Salt & Light, is an excellent source of encouragement for any given day of the week. Check it out – and take heart, my friends. The battle(s) ahead of us are not ours; they’re Gods! (2 Chronicles 20:15) – On any given day, we may feel outnumbered; we may be overwhelmed; we may be weak, and tired, and too weary to continue on – BUT – as today’s devo encourages us, we can praise God and declare His goodness before we ever see the victory!
Let’s “let worship speak louder than fear. And trust the God who fights for His people.” ~ Salt & Light
In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat received terrifying news: a vast army was coming against Judah.
They were outnumbered. They were afraid. And they didn’t know what to do.
So Jehoshaphat called the people together and sought the Lord.
And God gave them a powerful reminder:
“The battle is not yours, but God’s.”
— 2 Chronicles 20:15
Then came the most unusual battle strategy.
When Judah marched toward the enemy, Jehoshaphat sent singers ahead of the army.
Not the warriors… Not the strongest men… The worshipers.
They went before the soldiers, praising God and declaring His goodness before they ever saw the victory.
And as they began to praise, the Lord set ambushes against their enemies, and the enemy armies turned against one another. By the time Judah arrived, the battle had already been won.
What a picture of faith.
They praised before the breakthrough.
They worshiped before the victory.
They trusted God before they could see what He was doing.
Maybe you’re facing a battle right now that feels bigger than you.
You may not know how God will make a way.
You may not know when the answer will come.
But you can still praise Him.
Because praise isn’t pretending the battle isn’t real.
Praise is remembering that the battle isn’t yours to carry alone.
Put praise on the front line.
Let worship speak louder than fear.
And trust the God who fights for His people.
“The battle is not yours, but God’s.”
