Be Not Still, O God


Listen Later

This sermon, drawn from Psalm 83 and illustrated through the historical event in 2 Chronicles 20, presents a powerful call to trust in God's sovereignty amid overwhelming opposition. It centers on the tension between human helplessness and divine intervention, emphasizing that while God's people face a united and hostile world—symbolized by ancient nations like Moab, Ammon, and Edom—the battle is never theirs to win. Instead, the faithful are urged to cease striving, to be still, and to rely on God's promised deliverance, as seen when Jehoshaphat's people were delivered not by warfare but by God's miraculous intervention through praise and prayer. The sermon underscores that God's silence is not absence, but a time of testing faith, refining dependence, and preparing for His ultimate display of power. Ultimately, the prayer of the psalmists—'that men may know that You, whose name alone is Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth'—is both a plea and a prophecy, affirming that God's glory is revealed not in human strength, but in His sovereign, saving action.
