Having a Bad Day?

AUGUST 14, 2023

Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
2 Chronicles 20:15

 Recommended Reading: 2 Chronicles 20:14-17

We all have bad days. So did the biblical heroes: Jeremiah, when all his fears materialized at the destruction of Jerusalem (Lamentations 1:1); Jacob, when he heard that his son had been mauled to death by a wild animal (Genesis 37:34); and Jehoshaphat, when he learned a massive army was coming against his kingdom (2 Chronicles 20:3).

“Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord” (2 Chronicles 20:3, NIV). Calling together his people, he led them in prayer saying, “Our God…. We have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (verse 12, NIV).

If you’re having a terrible day, it’s hard to fully cast out alarm, but do what Jehoshaphat did—turn your eyes on Jesus. On our good and bad days God is making us more like Christ. He will help you today.

Many times when I come to the end of myself I pray, “Lord, I don’t know what to do, but my eyes are on You”.… Focusing on what God has done in the past takes my mind off the problem and positions me to hear His solution.
