And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and the Lord gave them rest all around. (2 Chronicles 15:15)

Daily reading: Proverbs 23

What went before this time of sincere rededication to the LORD? Well, one thing was the threat of an opposing army, with one million soldiers. The king of Judah faithfully depended on God, and that vast army was defeated (2 Chronicles 14:11-12). This is the sequel. That experience of divine help stirred the people’s hearts to respond. They didn’t simply make empty promises; they sought the LORD with sincerity and purpose. And God was faithful—He gave them peace and rest. The pattern is timeless. Have we brought overwhelming problems to God and seen Him deal with them? Or have we lost the battle because of doubting or half-heartedness? Now is the time to again express whole-hearted desire to honour our God. And then to rest in the confidence of His victory, not ours.
