relying on His greatness

LAND43 (3)2 Chronicles 13

Abijah and his army was greatly outnumbered.  It was like a replay of his ancestor against Goliath.  His enemies were the armies of Jeroboam.  His tactics were to let the enemy know that the LORD was with Abijah’s army at the head, because he had promised the kingdom to David. Also Abijah reminded the Israelites that they had sent away the Levites, replacing them with an illegitimate priesthood.  Finally, when his army was surrounded by the superior force of the Israelites, they all cried out to the LORD as their battle cry.  Half a million enemy soldiers died that day, not because Abijah was a great king, but because Judah served a great God.

LORD, we choose to rely on your greatness to bring us success today.
