David and his men had been living with
the enemy. When the enemy goes out to fight their king wants to make David and
his men his personal body guard. However, his people are not keen on this idea.
So he apologizes to David and sends him back to their city. When they return a
group of Amalekites has raided and burned their town and mode off with their
women, children, and possessions. David’s men want to stone him; however, he decided
to seek God’s direction.
He has Abiathar the priest bring the
ephod and from there he asks the Lord if he should go after the Amalekites. God
responds with yes … how this all played out I have no idea, did God audibly
talk with David? I have no clue. … God gave David and his men victory and they
returned home with their wives, children, and their possessions.
When you need to make a decision do
you invite God into the process? If we are being honest with ourselves most of
the time we do not. Maybe we do better on the big decisions than we do on the
little ones. Maybe it’s because we make so many little decisions each and every
day. Maybe inviting him in into the process looks different than you think.
Maybe it is an ongoing conversation you have with him. Maybe it’s making
decisions based on your relationship with him like you make decisions based on
the relationship you have with your spouse. Think about your process and the
frequency with which you include God in it.
