Listen to these words from King Jehoshaphat of Israel:

“ For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do” 2 Chronicles 20:12

Though Jehoshaphat was the king at the time, he realized that he had no strength against the armies that were coming against him. Let’s be honest… haven’t you ever felt that way? I’m sure you have… when you face a problem and it seems to be bigger and stronger than you. When you can not see a way out and start to feel desperate… That’s what Jehoshaphat was feeling. He was feeling afraid because the problem seemed too great for him.

But by putting all of his dependence on God, and putting his eyes on Him (not on his own weaknesses), he became strong.

And that’s my advice to you. When we say, “Let the weak say I am strong”, we are talking about a CHOICE to be strong. A choice to face your problems and not back down.

But then your next question may be…. “how do I face the problems?” The answer is simple, ON THE ALTAR.

When I present to God my perfect sacrifice, my ALL, then I become a giant and my problem becomes small.

Prepare yourself to go to the Altar now in June, but also prepare your self to receive what God has for you.

May the God of the Bible bless You
