The Kitchen Table Devotional

David Day 116

The men of David said to him, “Behold, this is the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold; I am about to give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it seems good to you.’” Then David arose and cut off the edge of Saul’s robe secretly.

1 Samuel 24:4

Sometimes things seem right, but they’re not right.  In those times, don’t let others be the voice of God to you.  Listen to your heart for God’s voice for your life.  What you’re sowing now you will reap later.  It’s easier to give advice than to live with it.  David listens to his own heart; he wants the drama to be over, and he is tired of running and hiding.  He’s got a chance to help God, but God doesn’t need our help.  What David does today will impact what he’s able to do tomorrow.  When it comes to hearing God, don’t let others be God’s voice for you or to you.  Listen for God’s voice, look for God’s peace. He is with you.
