Jehoshaphat admits his weakness and his lack of knowing what to do in face of his adversaries who were threatening him. He gives the problem to the Lord. He doesn't fret, draft all the young men in the country or enlist all his resources to address the enemy. He gives the problem to the Lord, and waits.

In the face of challenges, how do I respond? Do I work try harder, putting in more hours and everything I have into trying to address the challenges? Do I try different things? Or, do I set my eyes on the Lord to see what He will do? Why is it so uncommon a response to set our eyes on the Lord, and just wait for Him to act? Do I believe He is interested? cares? has a plan? Do I put my trust in Him, or the things I can see?

Lord, help my to set my eyes on you through the daily challenges of life.

2 Chronicles 20:12
