Topic: Fix Your Eyes On Lord

Text:   "…Neither know we what to do: but our eyes are
upon thee "(2 Chronicles 20:12).

The famous story of King Jehoshaphat who was
attacked by an army that outnumbered him gives
us a constant reminder that we cannot put our
eyes on natural solutions in tough situations (see
2 Chron. 20). Jehoshaphat was attacked by the
Ammonites, whose army was much larger than
his own. He immediately knew he didn’t have the
military might to retaliate. It looked like certain
death, and he didn’t have anywhere to turn other
than to rely solely upon the Lord.
Everyone has faced something challenging when
they simply didn’t know where to turn. Every
option seemed like no option at all. While we
should rely on the Lord in all things, these are
times when we need an unwavering confidence.
The Bible says that Jehoshaphat and all of
Judah stood before the Lord. They didn’t do
anything else but pray because there was no
point in doing anything else! They stood before
the Lord and said, “Lord, we don’t know what to
do, but our eyes are upon you” (see 2 Chron.
20:12). When they did so, God gave them
direction and He stepped in with a miracle and
caused the army of the Ammonites to begin
killing their own soldiers! Now, how does that
happen? It’s God! So make a habit in your life of
just standing before the Lord and simply saying,
“Lord, my eyes are upon thee!”

PRAYER
Father, I make a determination to rely upon You
even more. I look to You for answers to all my
needs, and in all situations I declare, my eyes are
upon thee! In Jesus Name, amen.
