What Now?

2 Chronicles 20:5-17

14 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite and descendant of Asaph, as he stood in the assembly.

15 He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. 16 Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.' "

Bee's Thoughts:

Sometimes, I tend to take things into my own hands and fight the 'battle' in my own ways. I may forget to pray and commit things to God. When that happens the 'army' becomes too big for me to handle. Fears and axieties may creep in.

Tonight's devotion is a good reminder that when I leave my cares to God, He will help me win. For He will be with me to see me through.

Dear Lord,
Forgive me for times when I forget to commit my ways to You. Now I like to commit my life and all my concerns to You. I pray that You will give me wisdom in dealing with some of my dilemmas and trust that You will work all things for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Give me Your peace to move on without fear.
In Jesus' nameI pray. Amen.
