Worry or Worship
Today's Devotional Reading: 2 Ki. 6,7; 2 Chr. 20; 1 Tim 3

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"We have no power against this large army that is attacking us. We don't know what to do, so we look to You for help." (2 Chronicles 20:12)
TODAY'S WORD
The enemy would love to get you worrying instead of worshiping God. When the devil brings you thoughts of worry, anxiety and fear, let them be a reminder for you to thank God that His answer is on the way. Say, "Devil, thank you for reminding me," and then say, "Father, I thank You that You are at work on my behalf." That's what King Jehoshaphat did. The people of Judah were surrounded by three major armies. It didn't look like they had a chance. This godly king was probably bombarded with thoughts of fear and anxiety. But he gathered the people together, lifted his eyes toward heaven, and prayed the simple prayer in today's verse. Jehoshaphat's prayer was answered. God told the people to march right in to the enemy's camp, singing and shouting praises on their way. Notice, they weren't worrying-they were worshiping-and God delivered them. Do you need a victory in your life? Then learn to worship instead of worry!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
God, You are truly the great God who is the Provider of everything we need, and much more. I want to be a worshiper instead of a worrier, so today I claim Your promise of deliverance from thoughts of fear or anxiety. Thank You for giving me the victory. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
We sure love you!
