2 Chronicles 20:6 "And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?"
The first thing to notice is Jehoshaphat's attitude in verse 3 prior to approaching the Lord, "And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah."
The second thing to notice here is that his prayer was not news to the Lord. God didn't hear those questions and think, "Oh, he's right, I'd forgotten." No, Jehoshaphat's prayers was his way of showing God that he, Jehoshaphat, believed the truth about Who God is. It was a demonstration of his faith in Who God is.
This chapter is so full of amazing verses! But for today, am I setting myself to seek the Lord? What would that look like? Do my prayers demonstrate my faith in Who God is?
