Jehoshaphat received a message of fear,\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cA great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon Tamar\u201d (which is EnGedi). And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.\u201d (2 Chronicles 20:2-3)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><br \/>The fear of the wicked world drove Jehoshaphat to seek God for deliverance from the multitude before him.<br \/>Who are you seeking for your deliverance from the wicked of your word?<br \/>The daily journey is a battleground.\u00a0<br \/>The daily battle comes with a multitude that can be powerful to engage but, with God, victory is certain. Without a doubt, seeking God with trust and hope will provoke God to battle on your behalf.\u00a0<br \/>Jehoshaphat feared God, sought God instead of seeking a multitude to fight his battle.<br \/><strong><em>2 Chronicles 20:17\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>records the message for him to fight,\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cYou will not need to fight in this battle.

Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>For Jehoshaphat, taking a position was to engage praise with understanding before God.\u00a0<br \/>Praising God with understanding brings man to the presence of God, where victory becomes undeniable.\u00a0<br \/>Jehoshaphat gained confidence by standing still as he prepared his people for the battle.<br \/>Jehoshaphat, seeking God with fear, gained an undeniable victory.\u00a0<br \/>The daily battle will come but plan to gain and maintain the presence of God will deliver.
