Today's Verse is 2 Chronicles 28:6
For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.
Take note, it was not that the men of Judah lacked courage, nor did they lack determination that they lost, but because they have forsaken the Lord God. The promise that we have from God is conditional for we have been commanded: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. These men were strong, and they possessed courage (but not good courage) but because they believed not the one God had sent, they were defeated! Therefore, let us take heed, and prepare the way of the Lord in our hearts, and make his paths straight that we might have the good success promised to those that observe all things commanded in the word of God, starting with accepting the gift of his Salvation by which we can have a hope of working it out that others may see. Amen.
To God be the Glory
Scott
