Decision Making

I fell and broke my hip and fractured my leg.

To say these last few months have been easy would be a lie.

I have been laid up for over three months without the ability to do anything.

When you have that much time on your hands, you do a lot of thinking. My brain has been working overtime; causing me to sink further and further down the rabbit hole to nothingness.

So I need this devotional more than anyone but I also didn't want to be selfish.

So my hope is for someone to get something out of this devotional as much as I have.

God Bless. 

We have no might against this greatcompany...neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee - 2 Chronicles 20:12  

This is what great leadership looks like!

King Jehoshaphat knew that the enemy forces facing his own people were far more powerful than his small army; as he reviewed his options, he also realized there was no human scheme or strategy that could save them.

Rather than blustering or bluffing his way forward, however, he admitted to his own people, and to God, his inadequacy and led them together in this prayer for help. 

"We do not have the strength to face this challenge on our own," they confessed. Have you come to this point in your life, in your struggle? 

Not where you give up, but where you give up trying to solve and fix and overcome in your own strength, by your own willpower.

 "Neither know we what to do." Have your reached your wit's end? Have you come to the limit of your own ingenuity or cleverness? Have you reached the point where there really is no light left at the end of the tunnel, no hope of figuring out your own way out? 

Then this is the perfect place to say to God, "My eyes are on you, now." What do you want me to do? Where do you want me to be? Where should I lead my family, my children, my church? It is when you reach the end of your own rope, and put all your weight on God's, that you will discover his strength and wisdom to help and to guide and to save.
