Problem solving is never easy.  At least it's not for me.  It takes brain power, honesty, communication and patience.

One day I was reading in the Old Testament when I came upon a fascinating account of King Jehoshaphat and how he handled a serious situation.

I have listed the points I believe are crucial to real problem solving.  As you read II Chronicles 20:1 - 30, see if you can find these points in problem solving.

·         Receive the problem.

·         Call on the Lord.

·         Bring together everyone affected by the problem.

·         Pray in unity for God's help.

·         Look for the counsel of the Lord to be delivered. 

·         Be obedient.

·         Encourage all involved.

·         Praise the Lord.

·         Watch the Lord work.

·         Reap the benefits.

·         Thank the Lord.

·         Experience His protection on every side.

I hope this will help and encourage you in your problem solving.
