Seek God When Making Decisions.

Someone reading this might be like why do i have to go to God before i make a decision? I have a PHD, I had a 4.0 GPA, I have Good finances why should i go to God some might be even more boastful and arrogant and say what do i need God for?

Now what you all to understand through this teaching right here is that we need to seek God for every decision because a little decision can turn into a giant problem. right now things seem fine why worry but you do not know what tomorrow holds. did you receive some sort of heavenly text messages telling you that go ahead its ok do what you want your all good. ? NO

In all decisions we must ask, we must see if the Lord is ok with it we must ask God how will things go if i make this decision is it safe to do this is it a Good thing if i engage in business with these people. Lets take a look at David King of Israel.

2 Samuel 5

¹⁷But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.

 ¹⁸The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

 ¹⁹And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

 ²⁰And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.

 ²¹And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

 ²²And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

 ²³And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

 ²⁴And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

 ²⁵And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.

So we see here that David was faced with a issue a decision and instead of going in head first like a unwise man he went and asked the Lord if it was ok, if he was going to win this battle. And the Lord said yes and the second time the Lord gave him a "game plan." That is how we should approach life the Lord will guide us if we ask him. Doing things without him is like driving in a next town in a next country with no GPS , yes you can ask around but you wont really understand what to do and where to go.
