2 Chronicles 17: He Got Ready to Fight - Against Israel

There are struggles, battles, and even wars that we have to fight. Sometimes we have to do this in spite of who the enemy is. Jehoshaphat, the new king in the south, had to do this, too. The enemy was the north—his own people. Israel (the ten northern tribes) was part of he promised land and the tribes that lived there were descendants of Jacob, too. But they had chosen to walk in the evil ways of Jeroboam. And that made them dangerous to the faithful. Let us be strong in the Lord to do His will, no matter who is in our way (1 Corinthians 16:13).
