God will set things right.

When we see evil around us, it’s hard to wait on the LORD.  God is being patient, but that means we need to be patient as well.  So, we wait.

Jehu went back to his fellow officers, and one of them asked him, "What did that madman want? Is everything all right?" "You know how a man like that babbles on," Jehu replied. (2 Kings 9:11 NLT)

When God calls us to be a part of the solution, however, it’s even more difficult.  Now we know a piece of God’s plan.  Now we know that we have a part in it.  Our decision becomes more immediate and personal.  “Will I do what God has called me to do?”

"You're hiding something," they said. "Tell us." So Jehu told them, "He said to me, 'This is what the LORD says: I have anointed you to be king over Israel.'" (2 Kings 9:12 NLT)

Jehu was an integral part of God’s plan.  He would be the arm of the LORD, bringing justice to the people of his day.  Once he knew God’s plan and his part of that plan, Jehu had only one decision to make.  Would he do what God called him to do?  He finally told his fellow officers what the LORD said.  This was an important first step for Jehu.  Once he says it out loud, it is harder to back out.

Then they quickly spread out their cloaks on the bare steps and blew the ram's horn, shouting, "Jehu is king!" (2 Kings 9:13 NLT)

Jehu will do his part of God’s plan.  Through Jehu, God will set things right.

How about you?  Do you trust God to set things right?  Has God given you a glimpse of His plan?  Has God made your part of that plan clear to you?  Will you allow God work in and through you to set things right?
