"Then they returned to Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat leading them, full of joy that the Lord had given them victory over their enemies. They marched into Jerusalem to the music of harps, lyres, and trumpets and proceeded to the Temple of the Lord. When the surrounding kingdoms heard that the Lord himself had fought against the enemies of Israel, the fear of God came over them. So Jehoshaphat's kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side" -- 2 Chronicles 20:27-30 NLT

Jehoshaphat Summary

Jehoshaphat was one of the few "good" kings in Judah, the southern kingdom after Israel split in two. He challenged his people to rid the country of all their idols and put there focus back on the one true God. Judah thrived under his leadership and was even miraculously delivered by God when three large armies invaded.

One of the key lessons to be learned from Jehoshaphat is the reassurance that "...the battle is not ours, but God's." (2 Chronicles 20:15) Once you learn that God has already fought the battle and won the victory, you can enjoy an even better peace and prosperity as Jehoshaphat, and live your life as more than a conqueror in Christ!
