"Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the Lord will be with you."
2 Chronicles 20:17
The promise given to Judah and Jehoshaphat in this verse is timeless in its encouragement. God's people needed deliverance from the adversary. They were afraid and turned to the Lord for His help. God gave them a promise of salvation, which He fulfilled.
As the people of God, we continue to struggle with the enemy of our soul. We face trials of various kinds and daily temptations. Our hearts wrestle with despair. Our minds resist thoughts of doubt and fear. While the body often feels weak.
May we hear the Spirit of God reaffirming His promise of salvation through this verse. The Lord would tell us not to be afraid of tomorrow. We should not be dismayed by anything we are facing right now. The promise of being with them remains for all of God's people. He has promised never to leave or forsake us. Every battle belongs to the Lord. Ultimately, He is working everything for the good of our salvation.
Do not be afraid or dismayed today or on any day. God is with you.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
