"Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah assembled to seek help from the LORD; from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD. " 2 Chronicles 20:3-4
Jehoshaphat was overwhelmed by his circumstances and aware that his only defense would be found in the Lord. He was the king, the one to whom all his subjects looked to for leadership and protection, and he led them in the most admirable way possible to the foot of the alter of the Lord.
As we find ourselves in God-given leadership roles, we must keep in mind the huge responsibility that is ours to lead with a Christ-centered vision. No matter how big or unmanageable our circumstances become, there is always a clear direction to turn - to seek the Lord and follow His leading.
