when you don't know what to do

I read in I Chronicles 19 this morning and came across the story of Joab and his brother Abshai.

They were facing a difficult situation in combat with the enemy coming at them from both directions. Here's what Joab said: " Be strong and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God; and may the Lord do what is good in His sight." ( I Chronicles 19:13)

I just sat and looked at that phrase for awhile: " be strong, and show ourselves courageous... may the Lord do what is good in His sight."

Even if you don't know what to do, you can be strong and let the Lord do what seems good to Him. Don't be paralyzed by indecision. Obey what you can see in Scripture.
