“So
David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I pursue this troop?..." - 1 Samuel 30:8
Actually I wonder how he could ask
this at that situation! His wife, children and everything he had was taken away
by Amalekites when he returned back to Ziklag. David would have gone against
them on his own as he had several reasons. Even in that situation also he went
to the Lord and asked whether he could pursue that troop which took away all his
wealth and family.
1.
Are we going against somebody who has done something
against us by our own will or are we going against them after finding God’s
will and asking God about the issue?
2.
God was not pleased with Amalekites but even then David
sought God’s permission to go against them. How much more we should be careful
when we speak about God’s elect and those who were precious in His sight! Do
not speak or do anything against God’s elect.
3.
Even if we want to speak against somebody who has done
something against us, we should be very careful on what God actually wants us
to do. If you speak ill against someone when actually God wants you to forgive
them, it will hurt definitely God’s heart.
4.
God might have placed you in a particular job or college or
anywhere. You might be facing tough situations there. You might be going
through humiliation and shame. You might feel like running away from there. But
then wait upon the Lord and ask for His will and do His will. It will be a
great blessing to you.
5.
Finally if you are too worried about the blessings that you
had lost in your life, do not get discouraged. God promises you today that He
will restore all that you had lost. You will be filled with God’s peace.
