📖 "David asked the Lord, “Shall I chase them? Will I catch them?” And the Lord told him, “Yes, go after them; you will recover everything that was taken from you!” -I Samuel 30:8 The Living Bible
Many of us would be so much further along if we had sought the Lord when it was time to make a major decision in our lives. We all have had the tendency to make decisions in our emotions and in our flesh. We can imagine that David wanted to recover everything that was stolen from him, not just for his sake but for the men that followed him as well. Their families and goods were taken. David wanted to know what to do, and so he sought the Lord. God knows the future. He knows what will work and what won't. When God told the Israelites that they would wander in the wilderness for forty years, they still wanted to go and try to possess the land. Even though they were told that they would fail, they tried anyway and lost. If they had just listened, they wouldn’t have suffered the loss the way they did. If we want success, we must seek God and His plan for our lives. We must seek His guidance. We can rest assured that when we seek Him, we are not seeking Him in vain. He always answers when we call.
