“When David was told, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors,” he inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines? “The Lord answered him, “Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah.” But David’s men said to him, “Here in Judah we are afraid. How much more, then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces.” Once again David inquired of the Lord, and the Lord answered him, “Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand.”
- Before David acted, “he inquired of The Lord”. When David was questioned, or challenged, he again inquired of The Lord. If Christ is truly your Lord, you will follow Him, and you will not be someone who directs his own steps.
- When was the last time you asked direction from God?
- Does God guide your steps daily, or do you take that task on yourself?
