Obey What You Know

“And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled. David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives. Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. David brought back all.” 1 Sam. 30:17-19 (ESV) 

What kind of battle are you facing? How should you respond? Obey what you know. Yes, it will take courage and you may have to overcome the fear of the unknown. Face your fears and walk in the light God gives you. Where God guides, He always provides.

David turned a setback into a comeback. He pursued God’s comfort and wisdom. In obedience to God, David mobilized 400 of his warriors and they recovered all that had been taken by the Amalekites. Nothing was missing!

You know that God is working. You know that God is faithful. You know that if God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. If you can’t feel His presence, you can still trust His heart. Remember, “for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 ESV). God is working in you so that He can do His work through you!

Obey what you know. Pursue God daily. Rest sufficiently. Eat nutritionally. Exercise consistently. Read strategically. Pray specifically. Trust God completely.

Following Jesus Every Day,
