2 Chronicles 13:13, 15 But Jeroboam had an ambush go around them to come at them from the rear; so that while his army faced Judah, his ambush lay behind them. Then the Judahites shouted; and when they shouted, God struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
Abijah’s army was facing Jeroboam’s army. Abijah began to talk about God’s promise to his people and the people’s failures. As Abijah was talking to Jeroboam and his army, some of Jeroboam’s men snuck behind Abijah to surround him. Abijah’s men were outnumbered and surrounded. But they stayed strong and called out to God, who destroyed Jeroboam’s army.
Right now, Christians are surrounded on all sides by the enemy. They are taking new levels in an effort to debunk our faith and our history. They are trying to remove our truths in people, family, marriage, and God. They are destroying our churches, spreading hate on our care facilities, threatening our leaders, and threatening our futures. But we must stay strong. Even as they are closing in, we must cling to the truths we know from God. We need to cry out to the Lord to save us from their army.
Lord, we cry out to you to protect us from those trying to curse you. Hear our cries. We pray that you protect us from those wanting to harm us because of you. We pray for their souls because they are lost. Please keep us strong Lord so we can continue bringing your light into the world, as it is growing very dark lately.
