It's a gorgeous view outside of the window where I sit, trusting.
Do you need Courage to face some things today?
In any personal or public matter, anything that bothers you, seek help from God first. My default is to try to fix it. No! Give it up. Go to God. Whatever the loss, God is doing us good. Appeal to God first. "Our trials will prove our gain." M. Henry
Victory. Wealth. Power. Jehoshaphat did it right, had it all. Until...he united with an evil king.
2Chron 18:3 ~ I am as you are, as you wish, replies Jehoshaphat to the conniving king. Oh, what a truth that stings me, those times when I cannot stand up to another person who is clearly not following God.
Jehoshaphat comes to his senses, comes to his knees. Surrenders. Breaks the alliance with the wicked king. May we have no share in evil. Would God stay angry with Jehoshaphat? I wonder if Jehoshaphat wondered.
"Let us be thankful for any losses which may have prevented the loss of our immortal souls. Let us praise the LORD Who sought after us, and left us not to perish in our sins." M. Henry
I am so beautifully "taken" with this quote---lifted up to the One Who allowed such loss in my life. All is well in the manner of loss and Love.
Jehoshaphat in full regal armor went to battle yet was protected by God.
King Jehu who went disguised---who thought he was protected---an arrow slipped right into the joint of his armor. You cannot outweigh outguess outdo our God. Surrender and he will surround you.
Thank you God that you armed me with Strength for battle.
You have subdued,
You have humbled,
Those who are against me and I do not even know it. I trust you, God!
Psalm 18:39
