LOOKING UP

Neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. —2 Chronicles 20:12

Jehoshaphat is faced by a powerful combination of Moabitees, Ammonites, and others. In his desperation he turns to God: “O God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us.” Are we not often in this plight? You do not know what to do. We never do. We have no might against the “Moabites.”

But we can take Jehoshaphat’s way out: “Our eyes are upon thee.” We may not know what to do, but God always knows what He is going to do. He is never caught off guard or taken by surprise. Commit your case to Him. You can lie down at night and sleep, although tomorrow the Moabites will arrive. Many a saint has pillowed his head on a promise when all hope seemed gone. And when the dreaded day arrived God had handled the Moabites in His own way.

“Our eyes are upon thee.” “Looking unto Jesus.” We know not what to do, but He knows. No sleeping pill can rest a man like knowing that! Let God handle the Moabites that come your way.
