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.

1Chronicles 12, Trained in the truth!

1Ch 12:8, Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness, MIGHTY MEN OF VALOR, MEN TRAINED FOR BATTLE, WHO COULD HANDLE SHIELD AND SPEAR, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:

Mighty men of valor need to be trained in the truth knowing that their strength, their swiftness, their abilities come directly from the LORD!

2Sa 22:32-35, “For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

1Ch 12:18, THEN THE SPIRIT CAME UPON AMASAI, CHIEF OF THE CAPTAINS, and he said: “WE ARE YOURS, O DAVID; WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE, O SON OF JESSE! PEACE, PEACE TO YOU, AND PEACE TO YOUR HELPERS! FOR YOUR GOD HELPS YOU.” So David received them, and made them captains of the troop. 

The Hebrew word used here “lâbêsh”, means to clothed! The Spirit of God Clothed Amasai with strength!

Act 1:8, BUT YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME UPON YOU; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 

AS SERVANTS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, WE NEED TO BE TRAINED IN HIS WORD, HIS PROMISES, AND BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH! GET READY! THE KING IS COMING!
