“And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them unto thine hand.”
1 CHRONICLES 14:10

f only we would learn to live like David, inquiring of the Lord before making important decisions. Trust in the wisdom of the Almighty requires humility; and humility, unfortunately, is a rare treasure in this world. Being arrogant is one of the most common traits in self-deluded individuals. How to bring ourselves to the foot of the cross unless we first put away our pride, unless we realize that we are nothing but grains of sand in the beaches of eternity? Our only hope is in God’s grace, in the loving hands that rescue us from destruction and darkness, in the presence of our enemies.
We serve a God who does not require us to know all the answers, to possess wealth, or to be more than what we already are. He willingly listens to our prayers. Let us be willing to yield to His will, seek His presence when we doubt, lean to lean on Him instead of leaning on the world. For what is this world if not chaotic lava seeking a way out from the abyss? The way out remains hidden to arrogance, open to humility. Ever wondered why atheists have such an entrenched sense of self-importance?
