2Chronicles 17, Trust in HIS Word!

2Ch 17:3-5, NOW THE LORD WAS WITH JEHOSHAPHAT, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; HE DID NOT SEEK THE BAALS, BUT SOUGHT THE GOD OF HIS FATHER, AND WALKED IN HIS COMMANDMENTS…. THEREFORE THE LORD ESTABLISHED THE KINGDOM IN HIS HAND; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.

The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he sought out GOD, and because of this the LORD Blessed him! REMEMBER WE HAVE THE SAME PROMISE!

Mat 6:33, BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU.

Psa 37:4, DELIGHT YOURSELF ALSO IN THE LORD, AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.  

2Ch 17:7,9, … HE SENT HIS LEADERS, …. TO TEACH IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH… AND HAD THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD WITH THEM; THEY WENT THROUGHOUT ALL THE CITIES OF JUDAH AND TAUGHT THE PEOPLE. 

The king also sent teachers of the Word to teach his people! The LORD has so many promises to believers in HIS word YET, IGNORANCE OF HIS WORD CAUSES PEOPLE TO STUMBLE AND FALL SHORT OF HIS GLORY!

Hos 4:6, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, …

HE IS FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISES AND HIS WORD WILL NEVER FAIL! TRUST HIM!

Num 23:19, “GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, NOR A SON OF MAN, THAT HE SHOULD REPENT. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? Or HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD?

Jos 21:45, NOT A WORD FAILED OF ANY GOOD THING WHICH THE LORD HAD SPOKEN TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. ALL CAME TO PASS.

2Chronicles 13, Relied on the LORD!

2Ch 13:1, In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah. 

1Ki 15:3, … HIS HEART WAS NOT LOYAL TO THE LORD HIS GOD, as was the heart of his father David. 

Abijah wasn’t loyal to the LORD and walked in the steps of Rehoboam, his father! Abijah was outnumbered by Israel, but he stood up and spoke to Jeroboam and all of Israel!

2Ch 13:5-6, Should you not know that the LORD GOD OF ISRAEL GAVE THE DOMINION OVER ISRAEL TO DAVID FOREVER, to him and his sons, BY A COVENANT OF SALT? Yet JEROBOAM .. ROSE UP AND REBELLED AGAINST HIS LORD.

A covenant of salt, salt preserves and endures, The LORD’s covenant with David also endures! YET, Abijah must be the father of “CNN”iens because Jeroboam didn’t rebel against Rehoboam, but northern kingdom was given to him by the LORD, because of Solomon’s sin! “1kings 11:11” 

2Ch 13:13-14, But Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them. And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line was at both front and rear; AND THEY CRIED OUT TO THE LORD, AND THE PRIESTS SOUNDED THE TRUMPETS.

2Ch 13:18, Thus the children of Israel were subdued at that time; and the children of Judah prevailed, BECAUSE THEY RELIED ON THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS. 

Nah 1:7, THE LORD IS GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE; AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM. 

THE VICTORY DIDN’T COME BY ABIJAH, BUT BECAUSE THEY RELIED ON THE LORD! IN THIS LIFE WE WILL HAVE TROUBLES, BUT THE LORD CAN CHANGE ANY SITUATION! TRUST IN THE LORD!

1Chronicles 21, Trusting in HIM!

1Ch 21:1, Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. 

The LORD was angry at Israel, so HE sent satan to influence David to number Israel

2Sa 24:1!

THE LORD DOESN’T WANT DAVID TO TRUST IN NUMBERS BUT IN THE LORD! AS MANY TODAY TRUST IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS, THEIR JOBS RATHER THAN THE LORD! ALL CAN BE EASILY TAKEN AWAY!

1Ch 21:7-8, AND GOD WAS DISPLEASED WITH THIS THING; THEREFORE HE STRUCK ISRAEL. SO DAVID SAID TO GOD, “I HAVE SINNED GREATLY, BECAUSE I HAVE DONE THIS THING; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.

The LORD offers three things!

  • Three years of famine
  • Three months of defeats from enemies!
  • Three days of plaque in the land!

1Ch 21:13-14, And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.” SO THE LORD SENT A PLAGUE UPON ISRAEL, AND SEVENTY THOUSAND MEN OF ISRAEL FELL. 

David knew that he would have more mercy from the LORD than from the hand of his enemies!

Isa 55:7, Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, AND HE WILL HAVE MERCY ON HIM; AND TO OUR GOD, FOR HE WILL ABUNDANTLY PARDON.

Put your trust in the LORD rather than man or money, and Confess your sins to HIM for HE is faithful and Just to forgive you!  1John 1:9
