📖 David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver [them] into your hand. —II Samuel 5:10 AMPC
How many mistakes could we have avoided if we inquired of the Lord more? How many hardships could we have avoided if we simply sought the Lord about what to do next? God knows the future. God knows every detail of every situation we face, and yet we still try to figure things out on our own. At times, we still lean to our own understanding concerning life-changing matters. God wants to lead us and guide us by His Spirit. He wants to tell us what to do, so that we can avoid any pitfalls and struggles. God wants to instruct us. He wants us to experience His goodness and His faithfulness in every area of our lives, but He will not force it on us. Let’s cut down on the mistakes. Let’s remove the self-inflicted hardships. Let’s seek the Lord. Good things always happen when we do.
