[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (4/16/18)[:]

[:en]When a messenger told King Jehoshaphat that a vast army from Edom was coming, he was terrified. (2 Chron. 20:2-3.  But instead of using military to counteract them, he turned to God.  He acknowledged God’s supremacy and admitted his own fear and confusion.  He chose singers to lead the army into the battle.  As a result, their enemies turned on each other.  “The kingdom of  Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side” (2 Chron. 20:31)

We will face many challenges in life.  Instead of fear and anxiety, we can turn to our all-powerful God whom we can peacefully rely on.[:]
