Bible Study: The Praising Army

King Jehoshaphat earnestly prayed, ‘We have no might against this great army that is coming against us, and we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.’

Then the Holy Spirit said through one of the men in the crowd,
‘Do not be afraid because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
Go down to them tomorrow, but you won’t need to fight. Just stand still and see how the Lord saves you.’

When they heard this amazing promise the king and his people humbly fell down and
worshipped the Lord.

They all got up early the next morning and as they went out to meet the enemy soldiers, the king reminded them to believe in the Lord.
Then he chose some singers to go on in front of the army.

When they began to sing and praise the Lord, God caused the enemy soldiers to fight and kill each other. By the time the people of Judah got there, they were able to collect gold and silver from their dead enemies, but they had nobody to fight.


Notice the King was trusting God and the people were praising then...God answered.
