1 Samuel 22:9

It is important for us to remember to seek God and ask Him for guidance. \u00a0How are we to know what God has planned for us in the situations we find ourselves? \u00a0If we blindly follow what we think is right – what is it that guides our decision one way or another? \u00a0Is it scripture or is it the culture we live in? \u00a0Little time spent in His word leaves us void of faith, hope, and trust. \u00a0This will leave us being tossed around and asking “Why” when the true course of action would be to seek God, listen for His voice speaking to our heart, and then through faith\/trust obeying His leading. \u00a0God is just and when we ask in line with His word with a heart and mind desire to yield to His leading, He will most certainly lead us down a path that brings honor and glory to Him!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
