FAITH CAPSULE: In every decision for direction, seek God for your direction
1 Samuel 23
Constantly, consistently, seek God for His specific direction for the journey of life.
Taking direction from God, being directed is the right way in life.
Knowing God as a God who does not fail is understanding God in His move.
David knows how to move in the direction of God.
Do you know?
Know God and not fear in the way before you.
Psalm 23:4 records the testimony of David, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me?
Know God not to walk where to run, and not to run where to walk.
Knowing God to gain deliverance from His direction is equal to becoming victorious over the enemy.
David did not undermine the direction to gain victory where there was no way.
At the time of going to fight the Philistines, his army was afraid to go with David.
David responded to the fear of his army by asking for direction from God.
1 Samuel 23:4 records, “The Lord answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
In the place of the support of man rooted in fear, the direction of God could not fail but answered with victory for David over the enemy.
David saved the city of Keilah from the Philistines when he sought God for direction. In every decision for direction, seek God for your direction, and seek the face of God.
It is wise and worthy to seek God in all endeavors.
Matthew 6:33 admonishes all, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
God will reveal unfailing direction.
In His truth, there is most definite freedom for anyone who seeks Him.
For the direction of God, watch and pray before God.
Isaiah 30:21 states, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.”
Today, seek God for His specific direction for your life.
Following a man for direction is not enough, but only in the direction of God.
Will you commit every step of your direction to God only?
God does not fail but is a faithful God to direct right.
Will you consider all that God has in place for your deliverance in your life journey?
The direction of God is all around one who seeks Him.
Are you ignorant that leads to destruction?
One with no direction will experience destruction.
It is not right to disregard asking for directions, but it is destructive.
Proverbs 14:12 warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
Prayer for today: Ask God that whenever you turn left or right, His direction shall take charge over you.
