2Ch 20:20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper."
I have never been close to going into battle before. I imagine it to be a very frightening thing. Jehoshaphat is going into battle and his words to his troops are simple: "Believe in the Lord."
In a way, we go into battle every single day. We battle against sin, against death, against sleep, against our feelings, and against this world. We are in a constant battle here in life. We are always having to react to something. I find in the midst of all this it is good to remember, "Believe in the Lord." The fact is, if we truly believe in Him, and believe Him to be real, we are foolish not to put our belief in Him. His mercies endure forever.
The promise is sweet. It says, "Believe in the LORD God, and you shall be established." I love that idea of having something to stand on. I would think that when in battle, finding a place to be established would be very important. God puts us on the vantage point. He places our feet on a solid foundation.
The words are simple today, believe in the Lord.
