He Has Magnified His Word, Psalm 138:2

For The Sake Of His Name

2Chr 20:11 here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of YOUR possession which YOU have given us to inherit

Jehoshaphat’s plea to God was urgent and earnest. When he purposed to seek the Lord, he assembled Judah and Jerusalem to join him in prayers, perhaps remembering 2Chr 7:14, ”if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face,…then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”

He says to God that the enemy wants to throw them out of “…YOUR possession which You have given us to inherit”. He refers to the possession as God’s (“YOUR”) rather than theirs, “For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.” (1Co 10:26). When we pray, we remember and remind the Lord of what He has done for us for His namesake. Not that the Lord forgets so as to be reminded, it is for our benefit that we remember His promises by His word and humbly ask for them in prayers.
