“And the Philistines came up yet again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. And when David inquired of the Lord, he said, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear, and come against them opposite the balsam trees. And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then rouse yourself, for then the Lord has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck down the Philistines from Geba to Gezer.”

All,

This stands out because the Lord says, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear”.  Have you prayed and received a totally different answer than expected?  If your like me, you prayed again hoping to get the answer you wanted. Isn’t it great that we worship a God that sees the future like it’s the present moment. He sees into men’s hearts and minds and knows their intentions. Why would we ever doubt Him?  Please pray that we and our friends go to Him with our biggest challenge today and obey the nudge. Please pray for David Aschenbach’s mom as she is enduring chemo for next several months.
