Thus the Lord gave Jehoshaphat and Judah a great victory that day. And the fear of God (verse 29) came upon all the countries around Judah when they heard what the Lord had done (see 2 Chronicles 17:10).
One of the great lessons of this chapter concerns the power of praise. Countless believers have experienced the power of God in their lives as the result of praising Him. The praise must be from the heart; this is not a psychological gimmick. It’s as if God was waiting for us to praise Him before He begins to act. To praise God at the very moment we are experiencing distress, fear, sorrow, or disappointment is to demonstrate true faith in God’s power and goodness; and God always honors true faith. Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah proved it to be so, and so can we.
