David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I pursue this band? Shall I overtake them?" And He said to me, "Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and you will surely rescue all." I Samuel 30:8
While David was away, his camp was raided by the Amalekites. All their families and possession were taken, bringing great grief to all his men. As his men turned on him, he did just the right thing. He asked the Lord what he should do. God told him to pursue them and he would sure rescue all. Along the way, God provided him with directions leading him to ultimate complete victory. When we're in trouble, do we ask God first or last. When He gives us directions, are we ready and willing to follow? Are we asking? Are we listening?
