TODAY’S TOPIC: Have you consulted God?
Text: 1 Samuel 23:1-6 (NIV Bible)
"23:1 When David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors,"
23:2 he inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" The LORD answered him, "Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah."
23:3 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!"
23:4 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."
23:5 So David and his men went to Keilah, fought the Philistines and carried off their livestock. He inflicted heavy losses on the Philistines and saved the people of Keilah
23:6 (Now Abiathar son of Ahimelech had brought the ephod down with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)"
*SHOWER:*
Have you consulted God? Consultation is a sure way to success in leadership affairs and other purposes. To consult is to inquire, to ask questions, to meet with people and possibly secure answers to a problem. Here David despite the fact that God has uplifted him, was still busy consulting Him to be sure that He approves whatever decisions He wants to take. We need to form habits of making inquiry from God at always. It helps to eliminates mistakes, elevate people, etc.
