I love what David does when a situation goes bad. He
inquires of the Lord. “God, why am I not receiving your blessing?” (A famine for
3 years hurts) God revealed that Saul had made a bad decision and tried to wipe
out a group of people that he was supposed to protect. Have you ever
experienced the negative benefits of someone else’s bad decisions? David had to
do something very difficult, he had to allow the Gibeonites avenge Saul’s
family by killing 7 of Saul’s descendants. I admire David for doing what is
right. Have you recently been asked to do something very difficult in order to
do what is right? One of my favorite Psalms is 15:4 Blessed is the one who can
keep his oath even when it hurts. Is it best to pay the price to represent
integrity?
My prayer today is that God will give me the strength to do
what is right. Help me to make the tough decisions. God, I pray for wisdom and
a desire to go to you when things are tough. I pray for revelation about what I
need to change in my life to represent you more.
