Message
Jehoshaphat enjoyed great peace during his reign as the king of Judah. This does not mean that his reign was free from war and mistakes. Though he had great army, yet, he trusted God as the unfailing Source of deliverance from his enemies. His many victories over great and bitter enemies, were because he chose to make use of the ‘uncommon weapons’. These weapons were; prayer, praise and trust in God. He was one man who never forgot to pray and praise God in his time of trouble. He seemed to learn from experience that prayer and praise were the only weapons his foes could never overcome. His life of praise was second to that of king David among the kings of Israel. Where other kings in Israel failed and lived in bondage to the heathen kings around them, Jehoshaphat succeeded because he learned to trust in God. With God, prayer and praise give rise to peace.

Prayer for today: Lord, in my time of trouble and fear, teach me to pray and praise You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
