Our Eyes are on YOU

King Jehoshaphat is faced with a great multitude coming from Edom, traveling by sea and entering Judah and behold they are already in Engedi. I remember when Brent Carl brought this message in October of 2007 at True Memorial in Rochester, he said "they are already in Dover !!"

And then, like all of us in the face of imminent danger or difficulty or despair, Jehoshaphat is afraid and, like we should do, set his face to seek the LORD.

Jehoshaphat proclaimed a fast and all of Judah assembled to seek help from the LORD; from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

As Jehoshaphat prays in the assembly, his closing words are - O OUR GOD, will you not execute judgment on them (Edomites)? For WE ARE POWERLESS against this great horde (the enemy, the danger, the difficulty, the despair) that is coming against us.

And this is the message to us - WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT OUR EYES ARE ON YOU. (II Chronicles 20:12)

And so dear family, friends and prayer partners, as we have been praying for Aaron and Kim and Isabelle, Our EYES are on HIM !! We admit that we are powerless and we wait for Him.

More on this great lesson later !
