Ask?

1 Chron. 14: 10 so David inquired of God: "Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?" The LORD answered him, "Go, I will hand them over to you."

When I read about David it is common to see these words,” So David inquired of God”. So many times in life I quickly make decisions based on my own knowledge without thinking to inquire of God. Sure I probably don’t need to pray and ask God what I should eat for breakfast, but it couldn’t hurt. David did not take matters into his own hands when the result would have an effect on many.

Let me break it down. Who and what has God put you in authority over? With great power comes great responsibility. David understood this and took his authority seriously. We have all been given a measure of authority.

Husband/Wife- home, financiers, job, marriage, friends, co-workers
Dad/Mother- all of the above and kids. Parents have the best and most influential opportunity in the world.
Student- classmates, teachers, friends, co-workers
Teacher/nursery worker- students, babies

These are a few examples of where your decisions affect people. We have the God given power and authority to make our atmosphere align with God’s will and blessing. Bring blessing everywhere you go by asking of God. The overcome is a direct result of what you are basing your decisions on. Yourself or God.

Have you inquired of God today?
