Every Single Step

2 Samuel 5:19, 23-24

"And 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....

And 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. And 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."

We are called to walk by faith. Walking by definition involves one foot in front of the other, one step after another. Taking more than one step at a time doesn't usually end very well.

David here gives a perfect example of walking by faith. He seeks God's will, then take a step. However the next step after that looks exactly the same. The Philistines are there, David has an army, just like before. Except it wasn't. And if David has not walked by faith, there could have been very different results.

Seek God. Take a step. Seek God. Take a step. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.

Have I sought God's direction today? Am I taking each step only after seeking God's will?
