« Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” »
21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.”
22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.
23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.
The accounts of Genesis reveal that at a point in time, the world was formless and chaotic; however, the reason for this is not our concern in today’s devotion.
Rather, we want to see why divine intervention is necessary in the affairs of men.
For example, when the children of Israel found themselves in slavery, they cried to the God of their fathers, Exodus 3:9ESV
« And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. »
In response to their cry, there was a divine intervention which delivered them from slavery to King Pharaoh, Exodus 6:6.
This type of situation is not peculiar to the children of Israel alone; people have been subjected to serious attacks, frustration and untold hardship from generation to generation.
The reason is found in the book of Revelation – how the devil came to the world in a great fury to wreak havoc on earth’s inhabitants, Revelation 12:12.
Unless God intervenes as He did in Genesis, human life can be extremely miserable.
In today’s text, three kings ganged up against the tribe of Judah. Jehoshaphat – the King of Judah, however, cried to the Lord for divine intervention,
knowing that there was no way he could win the battle against just one of the three kings, not to mention the joint forces of all three.
The Lord responded and said, 2 Chronicles 20:17CEV
« You won’t even have to fight. Just take your positions and watch the LORD rescue you from your enemy. Don’t be afraid. Just do as you’re told. And as you march out tomorrow, the LORD will be there with you. »
The Lord, intervened and the battle was decided in favour of King Jehoshaphat and his people.
- The Lord will intervene in your situation today, in Jesus’ name.
However, be ready to align yourself with God Almighty through Jesus Christ His Son.
Be ready to worship God in holiness and make this your lifestyle.
Prayer focus – Father, please intervene in my situation today as You did for Jehoshaphat and the children of Judah.
