And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron. (2 Samuel 2:1 KJV)
David was a man after the heart of God. One of the things that made him special was his relationship with God and the ability to enquire of Him on every decision.
There are many disasters we would avoid as children of God if we took time to enquire of the Lord.
David asked, shall I go into the cities of Judah? He said to him go up and he asked the correct place in Judah, the Lord answered, Hebron! When he found Ziklag on fire, children and wives taken captive, instead of blindly pursuing the enemy, he enquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue after this troop?” (1 Samuel 30:8). The Lord told him to pursue and he would recover all. In 1 Chronicles 14:10 David enquired, “Shall I go after the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands?” The Lord answered him and said “Go up.” Despite the first instruction, the Philistines gathered again, David did not attack on the basis of the first instruction. He enquired again, 1 Chronicles 30:14. This time the Lord told him to wait for a sign from Him before attacking.
Many believers are losing investments, children and even their lives because of simply failing to enquire of the Lord. He Has given you the Holy Spirit as a companion and guide. You can ask for directions on every step of the way and you can find yourself in line with the path and thoughts of God. This will deliver you from tragedies and losses! Don’t leave the Father out of your decision making, enquire of Him and He will fill you with the necessary wisdom to execute whatever task is at hand.
Today, can you make a decision to enquire of Him? Don’t take the trip before enquiring of Him. Don’t make that purchase before enquiring of Him. The more you enquire, the clearer the voice of the Father becomes to you. You will be able to find clear direction in a complicated world.
I pray for you today for the grace to enquire of Him for direction in all you do. As you do this over the next three months, I pray your season will turn around and you will see the power of God in your life.
Declare this,
Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit who is my companion and guide. I thank you for helping me develop the ability to enquire of you in every part of my journey in this life. I thank you that everything l lost will be recovered in Jesus’ name!
