Our Eyes Lookup.

Text: 2 Chronicles 20:12 

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee. 

In the circumstances of life when you are confronted on every side, we should learn to enquire of the Lord. When our faith is small and we want to give up, where do we look up to? Is our hope on the hills or on the creator of the universe?  It is the nature of man to run to God at difficult moments. But it is a wrong time to look up to God rather it should be our way of life enquiring and depending on God for direction daily. To confidently declare like Jehoshaphat “this battle is not yours”, you must know the God of the battle. It is a covenant deal that should be signed when all is well. It is not always easy to run to the leading of the Lord at the centre of the battles. You should have a form mind of determination to avoid conflict of action, because we are always confronted with confusion on the direction to look up to at all times. It is in the midst of the challenge that your commitment is being tested. You might not remember God at that thickest moment because several alternatives are presented as a way of escape. Most times, they have their clause without you seeing it because you are under pressure.  

David said my eyes are upon the Lord for He will rescue my feet from the traps and nets of my enemies. God is online 24/7 and no network failure at all. There are dangers on the journey of life which are secret to us but not hidden from God. We are able to overcome those big and little crises because of the big God that we are focused on. And we should continue to stir on His face.  Psalm 25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. Adversities in life are to make you or mare you but where do you look up to?  Unpleasant situations happen without prior signals, but we need to be loaded to stand out in the face of challenges. Your confidence in a matter is based on the knowledge and exposure you have on that subject. You cannot fix your eyes on a God you do not have knowledge about. There is every need to have personal experience of His faithfulness in those little issues around you. If you can proof Him reliable on that very concern now, you can trust Him on the bigger issue. You can grow your trust on Him over time. He doesn’t change but we need to turn our attention to Him. He is constant but we are the variables. You can’t be convinced of Him, if there is no genuine encounter. Friends, let's look up to our God again for his capacity is big enough in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

1. Oh Lord may we remember the victories of the battles of yesterday to continue to fix our eyes unto Him on the current situation in Jesus name. 

2. Oh Lord help us to stand firm not to follow the multitude of alternatives present at the time of difficulty in Jesus name.

3. Father give us calmness to stand in your presence and seek the right way from your Word, in Jesus name.

Action Quote: Friends, that current obstacle is too small and cannot threaten your God, therefore, avoid distractions.
