Read: 2 Samuel 5 :23
When we read the Bible, or recollect the various writings, do not look on them as mere stories. They are a lighthouse to guide us.
One of the primary characters of the Bible is King David. While his personal life maybe what it was, professionally he made a very successful king and a great warrior and leader.
But what can we learn from him?
Recall David and the Philistines. He had just beaten them hollow in war and yet they rise again against them. In that situation what would you or I have done? Filled with the confidence and joy of victory, would we not have rushed back again to fight them?
Not so David.
He stepped back, consulted God and only after receiving the go ahead, did he go and fight and win again.
In our own lives, how many times do we consult God? Do we do it before every action? Or do we do it only when we feel unsure and not confident.
Usually, we take action first then pray for its success. Wrong.
Pray and consult God first and then wait for success.
This week let us practise consulting God in every action or decision we need to take - personally or professionally.
Heavenly Father- as we start the week, we bring to you every situation, action and decision we will face this week. We do not know what will make or break us. But you know Father, so we put it to you for your direction. Show us what you would have us do. Amen.
Have a great week.
