Title: Inquiring Minds/Topic: Guidance

Today’s Reading: 2 Samuel 2; 1 Chronicles 11; Psalm 142; Matthew 14

Scripture: 2 Samuel 2:1
1 In the course of time, David inquired of the LORD. "Shall I go up to one of the towns of Judah?" he asked. The LORD said, "Go up." David asked, "Where shall I go?" "To Hebron," the LORD answered.

Observation: This verse contains the secret of David's success. He “inquired of the Lord” before making decisions (at least most of the time) and when he received a word from God, he obeyed it.

Application: I need to stop and pray more often than I do. Sometimes I only pray about the “big” things or the things I am in some confusion over. God wants to be involved in my whole life. I used to make fun of people who prayed about which toothpaste to buy and other such trivial matters, but while that may be extreme, I could do with erring more on that in that direction.

Prayer: Father, I want to be a child who seeks your advise and counsel often. Attend to my prayers O Lord, and guide me in your paths, for they are the way of life, health, joy and success. Thank you for being such a caring Father.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
