II Chronicles 20:12 - "O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”
This should be our only response when the enemy seeks to overwhelm us. We should turn our full attention to the Lord and acknowledge that unless He moves, we are doomed. Jehoshaphat knew and understood that unless God moved against this multitude, that the nation of Israel would become slaves to the overwhelming force set against them.
What is our “great multitude” that is coming against us today? Is it finances, health, relationships, or general anxiety over life itself? God did not expect Israel to go it alone, nor does He expect us to fight these battles. If we will but relinquish control and trust the outcome to God, then He will rout the enemy. Will it happen overnight? Possibly, however, we must take time out of the equation for we are dealing with an Eternal God. He will move from eternity into time at the perfect moment on our behalf.
