Enquired Of The Lord

"Therefore David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines?  And the Lord said unto David, Go and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah."  I Samuel 23:2.  David's men expressed concern over going to Keilah.  So David enquired of the Lord again, and was given the same instruction.  The Lord will be with those who enquire of Him.  More people would be on safe ground spiritually if they enquired of the Lord.  Many people choose to serve God in their own way without making an enquiry of the Lord.  The Lord needs to be consulted as to how we are to serve Him.  The Lord has spoken through His word.  His instructions are exact.  His instructions do not change from time to time nor from culture to culture.  We know from Scripture that there have been those who offered sacrifice unto the Lord without enquiring of Him.  The consequences for such action was devastating.  God is never pleased with those who do not enquire of Him and seek His wisdom or will in any matter.  We must enquire of the Lord as to how we will obey His will and offer unto Him our worship.  In this way only will we be accepted of Him.
