“Confused About Something? Ask God”
Monday, November 18, 2024Key Verse
“And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.” 1 Samuel 30:8
Text — 1Samuel 30:1-8
Message
David was distressed, confused and unhappy because the enemy had invaded his home, burnt the city with fire and taken his family as captives. This made him and his men cry till they had no more power to weep. However, David in His distress decided to ask God for the next step to take. God told him to pursue the enemy and promised him that not only would he overtake them but would also recover all that the enemy had stolen. This is cheering! Did God fulfil His promise? Yes, He did, for David recovered all and also had some extra.
God is always interested in speaking to His children and guiding them through difficult and trying times. Is there anything that makes you sad, confused or fearful? Ask God for direction. He will show you the way. Remember, this privilege is only for those who have repented of their sins and accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour If you have not, why not today?
