I subscribe to ODB via email. I’ve benefitted much from this email ministry. Today’s topic struck me as I’m helpless. No one else to turn to but God. God is always there for me.

Nothing Left But God
Read: 2 Chronicles 20:3-17
Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but Gods. 2 Chronicles 20:15
A wise Bible teacher once said, Sooner or later God will bring self-sufficient people to the place where they have no resource but Himno strength, no answers, nothing but Him. Without Gods help, theyre sunk.
He then told of a despairing man who confessed to his pastor, My life is really in bad shape. How bad? the pastor inquired. Burying his head in his hands, he moaned, Ill tell you how badall Ive got left is God. The pastors face lit up. Im happy to assure you that a person with nothing left but God has more than enough for great victory!
In todays Bible reading, the people of Judah were also in trouble. They admitted their lack of power and wisdom to conquer their foes. All they had left was God! But King Jehoshaphat and the people saw this as reason for hope, not despair. Our eyes are upon You, they declared to God (2 Chron. 20:12). And their hope was not disappointed as He fulfilled His promise: The battle is not yours, but Gods (v.15).
Are you in a position where all self-sufficiency is gone? As you turn your eyes on the Lord and put your hope in Him, you have Gods reassuring promise that you need nothing more. Joanie Yoder
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace. Lemmel
When all you have is God, you have all you need.
