"Then they told David, saying, 'Look, the Philistines are fighting against Kielah, and they are robbing their threshing floors.' Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, 'Shall I Go and attack these Philistines?' And the LORD said to David, 'Go.....' But David's men said to him, 'Look, we are afraid....' Then David inquired of the LORD once again...."
I Samuel 23:1-4a
David did not take on Kielah's battle until he was sure of the will of the LORD. He wasn't just ruled by his emotions, but he listened to God, and he also listened to the counsel of his men. He asked a second time to make sure that it was God's battle and not just his. Prudence calls for delaying intervention until the will of the Lord is clear.
Today's Thought: Seek and know God's will before intervening in someone else's problems.
Have a waiting day. Love you.
