V.8-17 The Philistines didn’t know that God’s king David was now on Israel’s throne and that God would give him strength against them. Isn’t it strange that believers often will pray very much about things in everyday life, but when it comes to worshipping God, many say that they can decide for themselves! When we say to the Lord “where wilt Thou?” (Luke 22:9) then we get His instruction. Do you realize the importance of this?
V.10, 14 David does what every believer should do daily — inquire of the Lord before acting.
V.16-17 Notice what the Lord did.
