Look Up!

When hard trials come, we tend to get down in spirit and in our countenance. Don’t get me wrong, it’s okay to react initially that way, but we should only stay there but for a moment: especially when we have a God who cares for us and who allows His Spirit to dwell in us. With that in mind, we should always have a reason to look up.

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 on you. 2 Chronicles 20:12

In our text and its supporting Scriptures we find that King Jehoshaphat was about to be attacked, no triple-teamed by the Ammonites, Moabites and a few of the Meunites. Have you ever felt like you were being attacked on every side? In this instance and in our situations, God knows all and He sees all. Our reality should be to recognize there are some things not meant for us to handle (no power to face this vast army) but that belong to God so that He may get the glory and that others might believe in Him. King Jehoshaphat knew to call upon the name of the Lord and seek Him for wisdom and guidance. Have you done that concerning the things that come up against you?

As we look up with surrendered and humbled hearts to the Lord our God, we will gain wisdom and know that the battle isn’t ours but it’s indeed the Lord’s. Do you trust Him enough to fight on your behalf?
