“For we are powerless against this great multitude which is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” 2 Chronicles 20:12 (AMP)
I once prayed with a woman who kept crying out the words, “I just don’t know what to do” over and over again. It was a powerful moment for us both. The Lord gave me 2 Chronicles 20:12 to share with her. Our time together really stuck with me, as it made me realize how badly I need this verse as well—I think we all do. I feel as if I frequently just don’t know what to do in this crazy life, and this verse directly acknowledges both our weakness and our reliance on God during those times.
In its original context, Jehoshaphat was facing an army and openly admitting his lack of power and strategy to deal with it. In the same way, we often feel unequipped to fight our own battles—I know I do. Jehoshaphat then openly declared his trust in the Lord to help him get through it. When facing a battle of any magnitude, we are to look to the Lord and His immeasurable power. He never asks us to fight in our own strength, but rather He wants us to fix our eyes on Him and His strength. When you don’t know what to do, set your gaze on the One who does. He will always see you through.
My Light for My Lord
