“So 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 doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.’”
2 Samuel 5:19
As long as David inquired the Lord
for guidance, his efforts were successful. When he did things apart from the
Lord, he landed in trouble, even though he was anointed and appointed by God.
The same is true for us. Take time to be with the Lord each and every day. It
is never wasted time. It is time well spent. Be sure to inquire of the Lord for
His guidance. He will lead and guide you. He will impress things upon your
heart. Don’t base your decisions and do things apart from Him. You don’t want
to find yourself in trouble. You may be called. You may be anointed. You may be
appointed. But You still need the Lord’s guidance and direction in your life
for your efforts to be successful. Even Jesus spent time with the Lord and was
instructed by Him each and every morning. If He needed to, how much more do we.
Father, we see yet again another time where David inquired
in You in what He should do. We can see in His life that when he inquired of You
his efforts were successful. We can also see where he landed in trouble when he
went ahead and did what his flesh wanted to do. May this be an example for us.
May we inquire of You in what we should do. May we not go ahead and do what our
flesh wants to do apart from You. We want our efforts to be successful. We don’t
want to end up in trouble. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
