1 Samuel 23-25: Inquire of the Lord
Today, we find David early in his kingship facing a problem. Let’s take note of what David does when he faces difficulties: “Therefore David inquired of the Lord” (23:2), “Then David inquired of the Lord again” (23:4). When David faced a problem, when difficulties arose in his life, He went to the Lord! That is a valuable lesson for us today. What do you need to go to the Lord about?
Take some time to think about what you need to go to the Lord about today. Make a list. Go BOLDLY! Inquire of the Lord, and if you need to, inquire again as King David did.

Inquiring of the Lord is a great daily practice for all of us. And then follow up with listening and doing (that's sometimes the hard part!). :)

David's life is such an inspiration both because he had a true heart for God and because despite sinful choces, he still had a heart for God! I need the reminder of David's inquiring of the LORD, not everyone else's advice first when he was unsure of his next steps!

I love that, Donna! —"...despite sinful choices, he still had a heart for God!" There is hope found in that statement! Hope for all of us!

Prayer is such a beautiful, wonderful gift. But perhaps I should consider whether I need to be bolder!

It is, Lauren!! And when David faced a problem, when difficulties arose in his life, He went straight to the Lord! PRAYER! That’s it. It’s just that simple. Make a list. Go BOLDLY! Inquire of the Lord, and if you need to, inquire again as David did.
