When God gives you direction, follow it!

"...so David inquired of the Lord, and he answered..." 2 Samuel 5:23

"...David did as the Lord commanded him..." 2 Samuel 5:25

How did David become so mighty, powerful, and anointed?   Two ways: First, he inquired of God before he made any drastic decisions, and second, he did what the Lord told him to do - hence he had all trust and had faith in the Lord for his plans and endeavors.   So, my point, you ask?  Simple: seek God first, (first, and, did I mention, first), then do what God tells you to do without looking around for different answers - PERIOD.

Did you ask God first?

"... David inquired of the Lord, "Shall I pursue this raiding party?  Will I overtake them?"

"Pursue them," he answered.  "You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue."

1 Samuel 30:8

When you inquire of, as well as wait on his answer, before   (emphasis on 'before') you set out on a mission, you can be guaranteed what he tells you is the truth.  Therefore, until you hear from God, stay put! If you don't, you may fall before you even begin to walk.
