"...But My Eyes Are On You"
āWe do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.ā ā 2 Chronicles 20:12
There are days when life feels like a battlefield.
The pressure rises. Decisions loom. Emotions swell. And in the thick of it all, we whisper to ourselves, āI donāt know what it takes. I donāt know what to do.ā
Maybe itās the bills youāre unsure how to pay.
The relationship you donāt know how to fix.
The job youāre struggling to keep up with.
The healing youāve been praying for that hasnāt come.
Sometimes, the weight of not knowing can crush your spirit. You feel like youāre standing before a mountain too high, a storm too wild, or a battle too big for your strength.
But then comes the reminder from 2 Chronicles 20:12āa moment when King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah stood helpless in the face of a vast army. They didnāt pretend to have it all together. They didnāt offer strategies. They didnāt put on masks of false strength. They simply stood before the Lord and confessed:
āWe do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.ā
What a powerful kind of surrender that is.
Itās not weakness. Itās not defeat. Itās trust.
Itās the kind of surrender that turns our gaze away from our limitations and toward the limitless power of God.
Itās choosing to say, āI may not know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow.ā
And because of that, I will not be afraid.
I will not be discouraged.
Even when life throws curveballs I didnāt expect and battles I didnāt sign up for, I will hold on to the truth that God is with meāin the unknown, in the waiting, in the in-between.
He is not just with me in the moment; Heās already in my tomorrow, making a way.
So today, I take my hands off the wheel and surrender the need to control.
I trade anxiety for trust.
Panic for praise.
Fear for faith.
And I say with all my heart:
āLord, I donāt know what to do⦠but my eyes are on You.ā
