Focus on God's Power rather than your own!

2 Chronicles 20:6

Jehoshaphat stood before the community.

He prayed, “O LORD, God of our ancestors, You alone are the God who is in heaven.  You are the Ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth.  You are Mighty; no one can stand against you!

Jehoshaphat’s prayer had several essential ingredients. (1) He committed the situation to God, acknowledging that God could save the nation. (2) He sought God’s favour because His people were God’s people. (3) He acknowledged God’s sovereignty over the current situation. (4) He praised God’s glory and took comfort in His promises. (5) He professed complete dependence on God, not himself, for deliverance. To be God’s kind of leader today, let's follow Jehoshaphat’s example. Focus entirely on God’s Power rather than your own.

You are Powerful and Mighty, no one can stand against You!
