This One

He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's......You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you."

Written is God's speedy and gracious answer to Jehoshaphat's prayer — reassuring him and all of Judah to 'Be Not Afraid.' They admitted fear enough to bring their petitions to God! The Lord God then gives them the motions of the enemy and orders the people of Judah to march towards them with particular directions where they should find the enemy. He assures them that they should be the joyful spectators of the total defeat of the enemy: "You shall not need to strike a stroke; only stand still and see it." (2 Chronicles 20:17)

This is not dissimilar from other passages in Scripture in which the Lord through Moses said: "God is with you, who is able to do his work himself, and will do it. If the battle be his, the victory shall be his too." (Exodus 14:13)

This passage is perfect Christ encouragement: all of our battles, are HIS. His grace is all sufficient. Trust. God ALWAYS leads.
