Set Your Face

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: In 2 Chronicles we read about a nation in crisis.

Leslie: This is Seeking Him with Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.

Nancy: Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, received news of a huge, imposing army about to attack. “Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the LORD” (20:3).

The leader of this nation didn’t issue a poll. He didn’t send a press secretary to “spin” the story. He did something far more powerful: He sought the Lord.

Our nation is facing some imposing challenges. Terrorism is a concern, and we face financial instability.

In times like these, some seek immediate political solutions. Others turn to diversions and entertainment. Others try to take advantage of the situation for their own gain.

But we need to do today what Jehoshaphat did and set our faces to seek the Lord,  imploring Him to intervene in our land in this day.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
