Seek His Will - 1 Samuel 30

S - 1 Samuel 30:8 Then David asked the Lord, “Should I chase after this band of raiders? Will I catch them?”
And the Lord told him, “Yes, go after them. You will surely recover everything that was taken from you!”
O - The Amalekites had attacked an Israel city and burned it to the ground after taking all of the women and children and great plunder. David's men were so angry that they talked of stoning David, but David found strength in the Lord. He asked God if he should go after them and if he'd catch them. In my mind that was a no-brainer as if my wife and children were taken I'd go chase after them immediately. David was probably no different but he still wanted to seek God's will and be in submission to God.
A - Most likely I'll never have a scenario in my life with this much grevity but there are and will be times that are difinitely troubling and I need to look to God for guidance. He has and will speak into my life and answer my calls for guidance. When I go to Him, I need to be like David and expect an answer every time as God only rewards faith.
P - God, forgive me for the times that I have went forward with what I think is the right thing to do without consulting you. I desire to you you speak into my life and provide guidance. I ask that you speak so clearly when I ask for your will so that there is no doubt in my mind of the direction you want me to take. I ask for your wisdom with this adoption journey and the path that we are are and going down now. If there is a different way or a alternate path that you want us on, I pray that you tell me clearly. Thank you for your presence in my life and my family's life. Bless us all today.
