Today’s Scriptures: 2 Samuel 5:19, NLT- “So David asked the LORD, “Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” The LORD replied to David, “Yes, go ahead. I will certainly hand them over to you.”
2 Samuel 5:23, NLT- “And again David asked the LORD what to do. “Do not attack them straight on,” the LORD replied. “Instead, circle around behind and attack them near the poplar trees.”
Do we ask the LORD what to do? We can be as specific as we can be as God knows all the specifics. Can you imagine the LORD giving you exacting steps as He was giving David in these scriptures in 2 Samuel?
If God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, He is still in the giving directions business. I have often wished for God to be more specific. I have also often wished I could be more specific in my asking. I am always envious of the specificity of Abraham’s servant in Genesis 24:12-14. “Then he said, “O LORD God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.” (NKJV)
Of course, Rebekah did arrive and spoke specifically as Abraham’s servant had prayed. I am reminded that back in Genesis 24:7 when Abraham was making this request of his servant to go, he stated “ The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land,’ He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.” (NKJV)
The LORD God of heaven will send His angel before you. What a promise and prayer. LORD, God of heaven please send Your angel before me. Please be clear with me LORD to go and complete the assignment You have for me. LORD, I need You to give me the questions to ask so I can receive the answers You intend. I am thankful LORD God of heaven for your guidance.
Do you have any large decisions coming up that you need to make? Let us stop now and inquire of the LORD. LORD, God of heaven, should I go?
Today’s Prayer: LORD, God of heaven should I go? LORD, please give me the right questions to ask, Thank You Father God for visiting with me and talking with me. I am thankful LORD for Your presence and the presence of the angels You are sending before me. I love You LORD and pray to complete the assignment You have for me. Show me now thine way O LORD. Please be specific as Your servant is listening. Amen.
