WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Throughout life, we enjoy the "mountain top experiences" God gives to us. Yet at other times we are called upon to endure the "valley experiences" as well. In both types, we must keep our eyes on the Lord. As the trials of life surround you, and you don't know what to do, look to God for your help. Keep your eyes on Him. Jehoshaphat faced a vast army of enemies. He called out to God, and he kept his eyes on God, to bring the victory. Your "enemy" may be financial, physical, loss of job, emotional, or lack of strength. Whatever it is, God knows your need and He is able to care for you. So, what should you do, when you don't know what to do?.......
