Today’s Scripture: As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army. 2 Samuel 5:24 NIV
Where is God out in front of you today? How will you know? Here in 2 Samuel 5 we see that when the LORD calls us, He will confirm us and lead us.
David was specific in his inquiries to the LORD and the LORD was specific in His responses to David. We too can trust that God will lead us. Not only does He lead us to His purpose for us but he also will lead us into each battle and make our way clear.
If we know in our heart He has called us and He has confirmed it then let’s trust His leadership and move forward knowing He will continue to lead.
Where is the LORD leading you today? How is He instructing you to proceed?
Today’s Prayer: Almighty Father, thank You for calling me. LORD, I am asking You specifically how to proceed from right here. I trust You to direct me at each crossroad and for You to go before me and assure victory. Prepare me for battle dear LORD and show me clearly Your direction. Amen.
