Short and sweet today:
Sometimes it can be difficult to influence the people around us. Jehoshaphat knew this all too well. In a time when following the Lord was grossly unpopular, he did his best to honor God and point others in the right direction.
But King Jehoshaphat of Judah asked, “Is there no prophet of the Lord with us? If there is, we can ask the Lord what to do through him.” One of King Joram’s officers replied, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to be Elijah’s personal assistant. ” 2 Kings 3:11 NLT
We may not always have the confidence we would like. This is no fault of the Lord's, as He has certainly provided everything we need to be bold and confident in the face of great challenges. But neither does He hold our little season of insecurity against us. He is so loving! All He asks is that we walk humbly with Him and be a compass, ready to point the lost around us to those who are walking in the power and courage of their calling.
Never underestimate the value of a good compass. It may not be able to carry you where you need to go, but without it, the journey may not have been possible. Don't despise yourself for not knowing exactly what to do to bring the total victory. Just be at peace. Point them to Jesus. Be a compass for Christ.
Love you!
