“So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.” - 2 Chronicles 20v30
God gave His promised victory in a might way. The people had the faith to trust God before He acted. They sent out singers to praise God for what He was going to do before He did anything. When they started praising and singing God caused the alliance to break down. The Ammonites and Moabites fought the men from Mt Seir then they fought each other so that when Judah arrived there was no army to fight!
After all was said and done we read that the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for God gave him rest all around. Peace and quiet are two things that we all long for. Jehoshaphat found peace and quiet for himself and by simply learning to trust he Lord in time of opposition. If we desire true peace and quiet in our lives we would do well to follow his example.
