Are you not...Did you not...Will you not...? First:
It is a reminder to us that God is the One who is and was and will be – the eternal I Am. He never changes
Second:
It reminds us that God is also the Lord over history. Every time we look to Him, we leave in peace with the assurance that the battle is the Lord’s
– “You could have heard the sound even of the wind among the trees at the time, for they were as hushed and as quiet as you were just now. Oh, when you know the Lord means to deliver you, bow your head and just give him the quiet, deep, solemn worship of your spirit.” (Spurgeon)
Jehoshaphat’s prayer was as much a reminder to him as it was a prayer to God, that He hears us in our need and is in control of history.
We can rest in the confidence that the battle is not ours but belongs to God, our Holy Father, who was, who is and who will be.
Who are you God?
–You are sovereign, holy, omniscient and immutable
–You are our Holy Father who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You.
