Meditate on verses 13-15.

 

But Jeroboam had set an ambush to come

from the rear, so that Israel was in front of

 Judah and the ambush was behind them. 

When Judah turned around, behold, they

were attacked both front and rear, so they

cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets.

 Then the men of Judah raised a war cry, and

when the men of Judah raised the war cry, then it

was that God routed Jeroboam and

 all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

 

Picture the scene: the armies of Judah surrounded by the armies of Israel.  Being attacked from behind and before, the priests blasted their trumpets and the men shouted to God with a war-cry.  When God heard their cry, He struck King Jeroboam and his army, thus conquering Judah’s enemies.

 

What and who is surrounding you and your loved ones, hoping to destroy you?  Cry out to the LORD using the words from 2 Chronicles 13:10-12, 15, 18, and 20 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, You are _________ and my God, and we have

not forsaken You.  We are ministering

to You, LORD, attending to Your work.  We are

keeping Your charge; we have not forsaken You. 

God, You are with us.  Make __________ stop

 fighting against You, LORD God, for they will not succeed.

 We raise a war cry!  God, route Your enemies! 

Subdue Your enemies!  Let us conquer because

we trust in You, LORD our God!  Let those who fight

against You never again recover strength.

Strike them in Your name, Jesus~”
