TOPIC: LEARNING FROM KING DAVID 5: Acting Accordingly
MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 86:11.
“11. Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Samuel 30:9-10.
“9. So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed. 10. But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.”
The proof of our Faith in God is our undeniable obedience to God’s instructions. Doing as commanded. Acting regardless of the present situation. After God’s response to David’s request, Almighty God said, “Pursue, for you shall surely overcome and recover all without fail”, that was God’s desire for David, the answer he’s been waiting for, all now depend on him to act. The questions, how will he encourage the wearied people to go? That’s left for him. Which way will he go? Just act and move. Will everyone be willing to go? Just keep moving. When God speaks the devil will tell you, “am here”. He did that by discouraging two hundred fighters to wait behind, but David was not distracted from what God said. Actually, God never said, “all of you purse,” He only told David to pursue, so He went with the little he had.
You’ve heard God spoken to you but you’re yet to take the step because of friends or helpers who said no way there, it’s time to act on what God said, it’s time to respond to the call of God. God gave you the assignment not others. God never told you who will go with you neither, He only instructed you to go, so, why delaying for someone? Start out with the instructions before the time works against you. God is waiting for you at the other side, not waiting for others you are waiting for. Start going out, take the tools you need and move on.
God Morning and God Bless you.
