Jehoshaphat: Reviving
vision
Psalm 34:4
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
2
Chronicles 19:4-7, 20:1-6
Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and he went
out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned
them back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 5 He
appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah. 6 He told them, “Consider carefully what you do, because
you are not judging for mere mortals but for the Lord, who is
with you whenever you give a verdict. 7 Now
let the fear of the Lord be on you. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”… Some
people came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom,[b] from the other side of the Dead Sea. It is
already in Hazezon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi). 3 Alarmed,
Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord, and he
proclaimed a fast for all Judah. 4 The
people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek him. 5 Then
Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the temple of
the Lord in the front of the new courtyard 6 and
said:
“Lord, the God of
our ancestors, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the
kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can
withstand you.
