"And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him."
1 Chronicles 5:20 (New King James Version)
How many of us truly trust the Lord when we pray ? I know there are many times when we pray and pray and pray and say "Lord you take in charge...You take care of it .." And the moment we get up from our knees we start thinking "Ok hmmm How should I fix this situation... " Ironic isnt it ? !
Here in this verse we see that the people not only prayed , but the Lord gave them the victory because they put their trust in Him ! They truly trusted in God alone and sought Him and then went forth in His name.
We read in verse 22 that they were victorious "because the war was God's" . It wasnt their war...they had given it to the Lord to take care.
And this is the same way we need to be by God's grace when we pray... When we lift it up to Him we need to trust Him with our everything ...and let Him have His way in us and our lives and our families...
Our God is a perfect God ... How wonderful it is to give lift everything up to Him and say "Lord its Yours ! " He will lead us through and guide us and give us the victory.
God Bless
