FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Allow your situation to remain in the hand of God for unfailing victory.<\/p>\n

1 Samuel 30<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Get to know God enough to allow Him in all situations. God will remember and visit with salvation for man that knows Him. David, a man after God\u2019s own heart was able to bring down Goliath who stood to deny the Israelites\u2019 peace. David was anointed to be king but years of situation kept him away from answering as king. Despite his knowing to become king without happening, he did not upset the plan of God for his life by forcing situation to position him King at his speedy approach. How often have you changed situation with hope for positive in the place of negative? Forcing change of situation is engaging situation outside of God with negative result. David was in position to terminate King Saul for favorable situation to become king. He had the life of the reigning king (Saul) in his hand so many times when he was being chased by Saul. Yet David did not take Saul\u2019s life. David could have killed Saul to become King before God\u2019s appointed time. He had good reason to kill Saul, but he chose to run and hide from cave to cave, wilderness to wilderness, and from one priest to another.
\nIt is worthy of note that, among the characters of David as a man after God\u2019s own heart was his constant inquiring from God. At a time when King Saul was after the life of David, David wanted to keep his father and mother safe. It is written, \u201cThen David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, \u201cPlease let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me.\u201d So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.\u201d<\/em> (1 Samuel 22:3) <\/em><\/strong>David repeatedly refused to take situation into His hand but he took situation to the hands of God. Before going after the Amalekites that burned the city and took captives of David\u2019s wives, sons and daughters, it is written, \u201cDavid inquired of the <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong>, saying, \u201cShall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?\u201d And He answered him, \u201cPursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.\u201d (1 Samuel 30:8)<\/em><\/strong> David disallowed his past glory from replacing his reliance on God for direction. As directed by God after his inquiring, \u201c\u2026David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled. So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and David rescued his two wives.\u00a0<\/sup>And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all.\u201d (1 Samuel 30:17-19)<\/em><\/strong> Inquiring from God is a demonstration for allowing situation to be in the hand of God.<\/p>\n
