The Strength of Weakness

by Alistair Begg

2 Chronicles 20:1–19
 (ID: 3685)

When Jehoshaphat, an accomplished king by any standard, faced a great horde of invaders from Edom, he didn’t rally Judah with cries of self-confidence. Instead, in the face of his fear, he sought the Lord. Alistair Begg explains that the king’s prayer, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you,” is fit for every pastor’s lips as he shepherds his congregation. If God’s purpose is that we should depend entirely on Him, then weakness, when it is rightly acknowledged, is not a liability but an advantage.
