Don’t Know What To Do?

You ever feel like you have an army of disaster nipping at your heels? That no matter what you do, you are facing a big, tough time right in the face?

This is exactly the way Jehoshaphat felt in 2 Chronicles 20 when he had these massive armies swarming in on him and his people. With no clear answer on what to do, here’s what he did:

“Then Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the temple of the LORD in the front of the new courtyard and said:
“O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you. O our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend? They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your Name, saying, ‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.’

But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them. See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance. O our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us.
We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you. [2 Chron 20:5-12]

When you don’t know what to do, the best thing to do is keep your eyes on God. He knows. He will make it happen in the way He sees fit for Him to receive His glory.

Your response is everything.
