What to do when you don't know what to do

I want to look at a verse from one of my favorite chapters in the Bible.  II Chronicles 20: 12.


"O our God, will you not judge them?  For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon You."


Have you ever been there?  I have.  I've faced health problems, financial problems, just like everyone else.  I have tried to take care of things myself, thinking that I can handle it all....only to find that I can't.  But I can testify that EVERY TIME I went to God and said "God I don't know what to do, but my eyes are on You" and then REALLY fixed my eyes on Him, He comes through every time.  Oh perhaps He does not come through as I had hoped, but without fail, He comes through in a way that is for my benefit and will turn out better than any plan I had come up with.


We serve a God who has an endless supply of resources.  He speaks and IT IS!  This God is my Father.  I am a child of the King.  Oh that ought to bring us peace.  


The world just finished watching the royal wedding.  I doubt that Prince William or Prince Harry worry to much about finances....after all, they are related to the Queen!  Yet, I can top that one.  I am a child of the King of Kings!  God has an endless supply of resources.  He speaks and IT IS!  I am a co-heir with Christ to all that belongs to the Father.  That's not me talking- that's the Word of God.
  Galatians 4:7
 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.


Heaven does not operate on earth's economy!  God is not watching the stock market or trimming the budget in order to make it.  If you find yourself in a situation today that has you fearful and wondering what will happen, take it to the Lord.  Just throw your hands up and tell Him you don't know what to do, then fix your eyes on Him and sit back and watch Him work.


Now I want to say just a few things.  God knows our heart, He will not give us things we desire so that we may consume it upon our own lusts.  He is not a genie in a bottle, granting our 3 wishes.


But when we have given our will to Him and we are walking in His will then we can be sure He has our back.  


He loves you.  Don't let Satan whisper anything different in your ear.  Surrender your heart to Him today.  Surrender your WHOLE heart.  God is not interested in "renting a room", He wants to move in to every part of our lives.  He is worthy, dear friend.  It is a decision you will never regret.


It starts with a desire, planted deep within your heart
You pray in faith, and wait for God to move
Times passes and you wonder
Did He hear me when I called?
Should I even have prayed that prayer at all?


There comes a time when child-like faith
Must graduate to trust
Trials come and you're convinced you're on your own
But the teacher's often silent
During the hardest test
But He'll answer when it's time 
With what is best!


You never pray a prayer, your Father will not answer
He can't ignore His child's earnest request
While you're waiting and believing
For what you thought was best
Trust God if He says no...............you're still blessed
There must be a greater "yes"
