KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR HELP

2 Chronicles 20:12 We don't know what to do but our eyes are on You.

King Jehoshophat knew he didn't have the resources or ability to fight the armies coming against him but he did know where to go for help. He knew he was totally dependent on his God and without His help they would be defeated.

What about us? Do you ever wake up and think 'I don't know what to do?'  If so can I encourage us all to remember that we too are totally dependent on our God and He has told us to come to His throne of grace to get all the mercy and help we need at any time. His door is never closed to us. His help, wisdom and strength are available, whatever time of day, or season of life we find ourselves in.

One of the enemy's chief weapons is discouragement or pointing us to our own failures, but God says to keep our eyes on Jesus. (Hebrews 12:2) Why is that? Because He is our Redeemer from every situation, He is our Saviour who has already paid the price for our forgiveness and our healing. He is the Holy One who is pure and righteous and He has given us His righteousness to wear and we're hidden in Him. He is the Author of our faith, the One who designed it and without it we can't function properly.

In ourselves we often feel defeated but 'in Christ' we are victors because He is the Victor. He leads us in victory not in defeat so let's keep our eyes on Him and put our trust in Him to get us through every dark valley and back up into the light.

Our eyes are on You Lord, our faith is in You, and we thank You for helping us today in whatever way we need it. Amen.
