Several years ago I had the privilege of preaching at a church in Terre Haute, Indiana. The people of the church were taught the word sovereignty was a dirty word. When I said the word sovereignty that evening little ice cycles formed on their noses. It got very cold in there. At that time in my spiritual growth, I did not fully embrace the theological position that I hold today. However, God was at work in me. Somehow in the providence of God I came across the account we are going to look at here in 2 Chronicles 20 and I was amazed at how Jehoshaphat found great strength in the unrivaled sovereignty of God in an incredibly difficult situation.
When we find ourselves in a crisis time, a time when the bottom seems to be falling out of our life, the only thing we can hold on to is that God is sovereign over His world and that He is in control. Let us then learn from King Jehoshaphat's experience as he faced the greatest crisis of his life. I. Jehoshaphat's Problem (v. 1-2) II. Jehoshaphat's Prayer (v. 3-13) III. Jehovah's Provision (v. 14-17)
