Battle Instructions

2 Samuel 5:25


Then David did so, just as the LORD had commanded him, and struck down the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.

even though David was an expert in battles, he again went to seek God's instructions
to fight against the Philistines. i can see that his perspective on this battle
against the Philistines was God's battle and not his own. that's why he went back
to God for instructions regardless of his previous defeat.

i know i'm facing many spiritual battles against the enemy, but i lack the
heart of fighting those battles for God and thus feeling the need of inquiring
of His instructions before every occasion. i am quick to apply what seemed
to have worked for me last time, and
think i can just apply it again. this does not lead to a totally victorious life.

dear God, i want to seek Your battle instructions every morning; and do just
as the LORD had commanded.
