1 Samuel 28-31, John 19: 28-42, Psalm 88: 10-18
1 Samuel 30: 8 (ESV)
“And David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I pursue after this
band? Shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely
overtake and shall surely rescue.”
In verse 8 from 1 Samuel 30, we see how David always asked
for guidance from Father-God. David was always seeking guidance from Father-God
which shows how much David relied on the divine wisdom from God. David shows us
how much he desired approval from Father-God before taking an action or making
any decision. David also sought guidance on whether he would be successful in
his actions, which show how much David believed he needed God’s blessing for success
in any conflict. And we see how Father-God responded to David’s inquiry right
away, which shows Father-God’s willingness to guide those who seek his
guidance. Once David received the answers from Father-God he had the confidence
he needed, and was successful in overtaking the band that had kidnapped his wives
and children just as Father-God had promised. As believers in Christ, we need
to follow David’s actions and ask God for guidance and the results of our actions
if we follow God’s advice.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on this verse from the
Bible, find yourself a good Bible-based church so you can read and hear more
