July 2017 - Our Eyes are on You – Manna by Dorothy Callies
2
Chronicles 20:12 “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”
I
asked God for personal devotion from Daily Bread this afternoon. I happened to
see this title that inspired me. Maybe I
felt like I didn’t know what to do about the situation when we had to stop
thinking about pressing “when can Tony come home.” As I read the article, I was inspired by the
story of Jehoshaphat, the King who was terrified of a vast army who was coming
against him from Edom. Jehoshaphat turned to God because he knew about God’s
supremacy, His authority and His power. The King prayed, “We do not what to do,
but our eyes are on You.”
Then
the King was inspired to choose singers to lead the army into battle. Instead of a war cry, they sang of God’s
love. When they arrived, they were surprised to see that their enemies had turned
on each other. In the end, “The kingdom
of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for God had given him rest on every side.”
[Reference: 2 Chron. 20:1-30]
Dorothy:
What does this mean to me? I started to praise Him. I realized “God dwells in
the hearts of praise.” So I prayed, “help me God to focus on praising You, sing
to You and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through songs and tongues just like
singers who sang of God’s love. Thank You for such uplifting Spirit in the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Amen.
Just
want to share this with you as I kept my Journal #2 to remind me of God’s new mercy
every morning. God’s new grace every day. God’s new love every evening. Also I
want to thank Marilyn Vickers for sharing this song with me. Something to start
with.
