☀️ 2 Chronicles 20
2 Chronicles 20 opens with these words: “After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.” The line to keep is 2 Chronicles 20:19: “The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.” Carry the word “levites” from that verse into the rest of the day.
2 Chronicles 20 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.” 2 Chronicles 20 opens with these words: “After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.” The line to keep is 2 Chronicles 20:19: “The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.” Carry the word “levites” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is 2 Chronicles 20:19: “The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in 2 Chronicles 20? Then try this: Read “The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
“The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.”
