2Ch 20-21;Psa 145;Luk 11:37-54;2Th 2:1-5 Analysis: 2Ch (& interestingly Ps 145!) tells us the battle is the Lord's. We may be a part of it -- or -- the main part may be like Israel & Jehoshaphat -- to praise with a loud voice and be a witness. Luk tells us to pay attention on what's inside. 2Th Tells us to be secure in the Lord's coming/return. Dark times ahead - but, after comes the dawn. Best Verse(s): 2Ch 20.6 “O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you. Psa 145 15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. 16 You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing. Lu 11.41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. 2Th 2.1-2 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Contract/Prayer: God we look to you. You're our help for the present & hope for the future.
