Three-Peat: Back-to-Back-to-Back Blessings

2 Chronicles 20:25 “And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were there days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much “

Everyone’s heard of a “re-peat”, but what I love is a “three-peat”. It’s when a team wins back-to-back-to-back championship seasons. The New York Yankees did it in 2,000. The Chicago bulls did it twice in 1992 and in 1998. Amazing.

In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat was facing overwhelming odds against him. Have you ever been there? Are you there right now? In the natural, Jehoshaphat knew Israel had no chance of winning the battle, but he chose to do two very key things. First he said “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.“ (2 chronicles 20:12). We need to look to Jesus when we’re overwhelmed and not the problem, AND admit to God, “I don’t know what to do”. Next, he placed his worshipers at the head of his army, not his commandos, singing thanks and praise to the Lord. The outcome? The Lord defeated Israel’s enemies by turning them against each other, and they spent three days collecting the spoils. Back-to-back-to-back days of over-the-top blessings. Three days! Now that’s a three-peat!
