Day 159...Nowhere to Go

2 Chronicles 14:9-12

King Asa was in a tough spot. An invading army was coming and it was way bigger than his own army. If you were one of the King's advisers, you would probably be advising him to work out some kind of deal to avoid a fight because there was no way you could win a fight against an army that much bigger than yours.

If your life has been anything like mine, then you have problems that are way bigger than you can handle. Whether it's friendship stuff, family stuff, purity stuff, or whatever, you're staring at something too big for you to tackle.

We can learn from Asa's example because he made the right move and his "too big" problem was wiped out. Asa ran to God and called out for His help. He prayed to God and then obeyed what God told him to do. Doesn't work for you? That may be because we often pray to God and then run off without waiting to hear what He has to say.

The next time you have a "too big" problem in your life, run to God (pray about it) and then don't do anything until you hear what God has to say. Trust Him...He'll be there for you.
