THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP

Today's reading: 2 Samuel 1-4

"After this, David asked the Lord, Should I move back to Judah? And the Lord replied, Yes. Then David asked, What town should I go to? And the Lord replied, Hebron." 2 Samuel 2:1 NLT

David, referred to as a man after God's own heart, intrigues me.

His obedience.

His courage.

His all-in demeanor.

His accepting of personal blame.

His worship.

And...

The relationship he had with God.

An association that sought to honor God in all (he was entirely human, so we'll say--almost all) that he did.

Just this morning I read that he simply asked questions of the Lord.

Not in a doubting manner, but in a way that showed he truly sought to do what God wanted him to do.

I want that!

I want to seek God's opinion.

I want to ask God's permission.

I want to know God's will.

I want to know which way God wants me to turn.

I want to avoid what God desires that I avoid.

I want the kind of relationship that leans more to the side of asking His guidance than to always having to seek forgiveness.
