Vem e Segue-me - Nossos olhos estão postos em ti - 2 Crônicas 14–20; 26; 30

The kingdom of Judah was surrounded. Armies from three powerful enemy nations were all advancing at once, prepared for battle. In this desperate moment of need, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, turned to the King of heaven and earth. Jehoshaphat gathered his people in the temple and prayed. He acknowledged their human weakness and pleaded for deliverance. In response, the Lord promised His protection: “Do not be afraid or discouraged” (2 Chronicles 20:17). Perhaps we do not have an invading army at our door threatening to destroy us, but sometimes we feel surrounded by adversity and evil. Our path to deliverance is the same one Jehoshaphat sought, and our prayer can be like his as well: “O our God, … there is no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (2 Chronicles 20:12). In 2 Chronicles 14–30, you will read about Jehoshaphat and other kings in Judah. ​​Consider how the reforms, victories, and challenges motivated by faith can apply to your own life.
