2 Chronicles 24:24 (ESV) — 24 Though the army of the Syrians had come with few
men, the Lord delivered into their hand a very great army, because Judah had
forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. Thus they executed judgment on
Joash.
NOTE: It is natural
to seek God when we are overwhelmed. When the crises are small, we tend to
handle them on our own -- I'm not saying that is right, but that is how most
people respond. What we don't realize is that when we are living in
disobedience to the will of God, even the small crises will not be within our
power to handle. We are not in control of the events of our lives, we only
think we are. God is sovereign, and while he does not intervene as often as
most people think he does, there is nothing that happens that has not been
allowed by him. But if we seek him, he will bring good out of every situation
(Rom 8:28). But be forewarned: what we think is good and what God knows is good
are most often two entirely different things.
PRAYER: Father, help
me to be obedient, and to give to you all the things / events / crises of my
life. I need your help in everything, even the things I might think I can do by
myself. I need you. That is the bottom line, I just need you.
