Zo spreekt de HEER tot u: \u201cWees niet bang en laat u niet ontmoedigen door deze grote menigte, want de strijd is niet van u, maar van God.\u201d\u2019\u201d<br \/><strong>2 Kronieken 20:14-15<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Angst greep iedereen die aanwezig was toen ze samen voor de Heer stonden. Het was een tijd van nationale dreiging, en daar stond de koning in het huis van de Heer om te bidden. We lezen dat \u201cheel Juda, met hun kleintjes, hun vrouwen en hun kinderen, voor de HEER stond\u201d (vers 13). In tijden van crisis worden gezinnen altijd gesterkt wanneer ze samen in de aanwezigheid van de Heer zijn. Vaders, moeders en kinderen kwamen allemaal samen om te bidden en te horen wat de Heer hen te zeggen had. De moeders en de kinderen bleven niet thuis; ze waren er allemaal, en de Heer had inderdaad een boodschap voor hen!<\/p><p>De boodschap kwam van een man die nooit eerder in de Bijbel was verschenen, en we horen ook niets meer van hem nadien. Hij was slechts een gezicht in de menigte, maar op deze bijzondere dag koos God ervoor om Juda een boodschap van troost en bemoediging te sturen via deze onbekende omstander. De boodschap van Jahazi\u00ebl, amper honderd woorden lang, kwam rechtstreeks van God en was gericht aan ieder van de aanwezigen. Zijn boodschap had een kalmerende werking in een gespannen situatie. Hij was een stem van geloof in een tijd van beproeving. Hij was een woordvoerder van God, die verklaarde hoe Gods volk moest reageren wanneer ze geconfronteerd werden met een schijnbaar hopeloze situatie. Zijn boodschap heeft Gods volk door de eeuwen heen bemoedigd en bevat vele lessen voor ons allemaal.<\/p><p><strong>Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong><br \/>Wat is het goed om samen te komen, jong en oud, om te bidden en te luisteren naar wat de Heer ons wil zeggen. Wat is het goed om beschikbaar te zijn voor God en gebruikt te worden als Zijn instrument om Zijn volk te bemoedigen. Misschien wil Hij jou vandaag wel gebruiken om iemand te bemoedigen!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Word To Encourage \u201cThe Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel\u2026and he said, \u2018Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat!
