King Jehoshaphat learned that a huge army from neighboring lands was coming to attack Judah and Jerusalem. Knowing that his army had no power to stand against them, he cried out to the Lord, "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you." God sent a message: "Do not be afraid or discouraged. . . . For the battle is not yours, but God's." And in faith the king marched out to face the enemy, calling the people to trust and praise the Lord, saying, "Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever."
