SEEKING GOD'S WILL
I Samuel 30:7-8
"Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimielech's son, 'Please bring the ephod here to me.' ... So David inquired of the LORD, saying, 'Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?' And He answered, 'Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.' "
It would seem a natural and obvious response to go after those who had attacked Ziklag, and rescue the women and children who had been taken as prisoners. But David did not act on his own impulses. He wanted to be sure that he knew God's will. It is so easy to make rash decisions based on my own emotions and understanding without seeking God's mind in the matter. Even when the choice seems obvious, it is best to include God in the process.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Decisions need to be brought before the Lord even when they seem natural and obvious.
[end]
Have a "God's will" day. Love you.
