Our Eyes Look to God

Readings:

Acts 25

Focus:
II Chronicles 20:12b: "We do not know what we ought to do, but our eyes look to you."

King Jehoshaphat and his people of Judah were faced with a mighty horde of people who were coming to attack them, so they went to the temple and prayed to God to help them know how to defend themselves. As Jehoshaphat said, they didn't know what they ought to do, but their eyes looked to God. They knew that that was where their help lay.

The same is true for us whenever we face a daunting situation. Whether it is a difficulty at work, or a health problem, or something hard at school, or a problem in our family, or anything else, if we don't know what to do (or even if we think we do), our eyes should look to God.

It is always good to pray about a hard situation and to ask God to help us know what to do. It is definitely true that God's way of handling a situation will be better than anything else. Following his way is bound to be the best way to deal with a problem. When we don't know what we ought to do, may our eyes look to God!
