The Right Vision Gets the Right Results
(2 Chronicles 13:1-18)
An unusual king named Abijah reminds us that the right vision at the right time brings the right results.
Abijah followed Rehoboam as king of Judah. He tried to warn the leaders of Israel (the Northern kingdom) against their folly in rebelling against the Lord. He cast the vision, reminded them of their heritage, and encouraged them to follow it. “Now look,” he said, “God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the Lord God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!” (2 Chr. 13:12).
When king Jeroboam refused to listen, God honored Abijah and delivered him from Jeroboam’s ambush. That day five hundred thousand enemy soldiers fell on the battlefield. Abijah’s vision led to his victory. Consider this:
-
The wrong vision at the wrong time = Disaster
-
The wrong vision at the right time = Mistake
-
The right vision at the wrong time = Blunder
-
The right vision at the right time = Success
May we each desire to personally hear the leading of the Holy Spirit and move in His timing.
For the kingdom,
