2 Kings 14:26-27
"For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash."
Man's mind is only limited by how far he is willing to look up. A man with a heavenly perspective does not fear, does not let the things of earth discourage him. In man's eyes, from man's perspective, Israel was done for. There was no one who could help or save them. It was the end.
However, the Lord remains on His throne. Nothing can move Him, nothing surprises Him. He saw Israel's plight before the foundation of the world. Who would honestly think He was unprepared to help? Jeroboam was the vessel God used to accomplish His purpose.
Often, there are situations where I may fear the unknown. When life presents a problem with no way out, it is easy to be disheartened. But when I look around and see no helper, when all hope is lost, it is past time to turn my eyes up. God is waiting for your cry.
What in my life has me overwhelmed? How can I view God as my deliverer and helper in this situation?
