We are usually taught that to find God’s will we should pray, study the Scriptures, listen to the inner voice of the Holy Spirit, seek Christian counsel, and analyze the circumstances. But what happens when there is no angelic visitation, no audible voice from God, no supernatural manifestation, no time to seek counsel–but you have a pressing situation and need an immediate answer?
In 2 Chronicles 20, the Bible records the story of a man who faced such a dilemma. A formidable enemy was rapidly advancing to invade King Jehoshaphat’s nation. As the massive army marched towards him, Jehoshaphat fearfully acknowledged that he had no strategy to face the crisis. He didn’t have time to search the Scriptures, make an appointment with a Christian counselor, or wait for circumstances to work out. Jehoshaphat’s story begins with confusion but ends in conquest because he learned what to do when he didn’t know what to do–and so can you!
Once you master the strategies Jehoshaphat used you can apply them to every crisis you encounter.
