What Do You Do When You Don't Know What to Do?

Steve Whipple begins by relating to feeling lost, like a professional golfer who admitted he didn't know what he was doing on the course. He explains that not knowing what to do is actually a good place to be because it makes us realize our dependence on God. The sermon focuses on Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, who faced a great horde of enemies - the Moabites, Ammonites, and Meunites. When told of the approaching threat, Jehoshaphat was afraid but immediately set his face to seek the Lord and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah. Whipple shares a personal story from 2008 when his church plant was struggling financially during the recession and they needed exactly $350, which God provided through an unexpected check. The key verse is Jehoshaphat's prayer: 'We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.'
