[David said to Saul]. " 'Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept my offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the LORD....' "
I Samuel 26:19a
David was unsure whether Saul's persecution was the will of God or the will of man. He was willing to admit that perhaps it was God's way of dealing with him. It is not always clear to me whether the challenges I face are God's way of working His will in me, or whether they are from other men, the devil, or even perhaps just a part of life. In any case, I can commit them to the Lord, and pray, "Lord, if it is my fault, please accept my offering of repentance. But if it is from another source, I trust You to take care of it."
Today's Thought: I can trust God as I face life's challenges, regardless of the source.
Have a trusting day. Love you.
