Operating with Prayer

Bible in a Year: 1 Kings 16-18, Luke 22:47-71

Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 20:3

Today's Scripture & Insight: 2 Chronicles 20:1-12

When my son needed orthopedic surgery, I was grateful for the doctor who performed the operation. The doctor, who was nearing retirement, assured us he'd helped thousands of people with the same problem. Even so, before the procedure, he prayed and asked God to provide a good outcome. And I'm so grateful He did.

Jehoshaphat, an experienced national leader, prayed too during a crisis. Three nations had united against him, and they were coming to attack his people. Although he had more than two decades of experience, he decided to ask God what to do. He prayed, "[We] will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us" (2 Chronicles 20:9). He also asked for guidance, saying, "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you" (v. 12).

Jehoshaphat's humble approach to the challenge opened his heart to God's involvement, which came in the form of encouragement and divine intervention (vv. 15-17, 22). No matter how much experience we have in certain areas, praying for help develops a holy reliance on God. It reminds us that He knows more than we do, and He's ultimately in control. It puts us in a humble place—a place where He's pleased to respond and support us, no matter what the outcome may be.

Dear God, thank You for listening and responding to prayer. I worship You as the all-knowing, all-powerful God. Please help me in each challenge I face today.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
