“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”2 Chronicles 20:12 NIV
Facing
the attack of a vast army, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, utters one of the great
prayers of the Bible and a model for us whenever we are overwhelmed with fear
and perplexity.
Ceasing
to struggle to figure out a solution to our situation and simply acknowledging
to God “we do not know what to do” can be very freeing.
It
ushers us into a place of fully casting our cares upon Him and helps us to
focus our eyes and expectation on Him as our promised, faithful deliverer.
