“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”

I love this statement made by Jehoshaphat when a vast army was coming towards him.

So many times in life when things aren’t going our way or something is coming against us, we try to figure out how to make things better. We try to manipulate our circumstances or other people to improve our situation. It’s really hard for us to simply say: “I don’t know what to do.”

I love the innocence and honesty of Jehoshaphat. He knew the odds were against him. He knew that he was in a hopeless situation. He was outnumbered. He and his people were destined to die. What did he do? He cried out to God before all the people. He recounted God’s goodness in their lives. He concluded his prayer for help by acknowledging to God and all the people that he didn’t know what to do…but his eyes were upon the Lord.

What are you facing today? What obstacle in your life can you not overcome on your own? Is it a disease? A relationship? A workload that is unbearable? Read Jehoshaphat’s story in II Chronicles 20. See what happened after he said, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” I believe God still has the power to see us through when we set our eyes upon Him!
