God's Will

I wonder how often we really seek God's will? As I was reading through 2 Samuel the other day I was struck by one small verse in the second chapter.

"In the course of time, David inquired of the LORD. “Shall I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” he asked. The LORD said, “Go up.” David asked, “Where shall I go?” “To Hebron,” the LORD answered."


As I read this I had to ask myself "do I seek God's will that much".......I mean really, for David it wasn't enough to know that God wanted him to go to Judah, he wanted to know specifically which town in Judah God wanted him to go to. David was seeking God's will in the small details not just the big. How often to we as Christians (and believe me, there is a big I in that we) pray for God's will on the BIG things and then say "Thanks God, I've got it from here". When was the last time I asked God's will about a purchase I was going to make or a small decision I was going to make? And what would life look like if we truly sought AND obeyed God's will with everything we do?

Food for thought!
