Inquire of The Lord.

                                                                  Inquire of The Lord.

To Inquire or To Inquire Not; Of The Lord.


So David “inquired” of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue this troop?  Shall I overtake them?  And He answered him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.  (1 Samuel 30:8)


I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem.  I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place, the very names of the “idolatrous priests”- those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry host (worship of stars) those who bow down and swear by the Lord and who also swear by Molek, those who turn back from following the Lord and “Neither Seek the Lord nor Inquire of Him”.  (Zephaniah 1:6)


Faith leads us to Inquire, Pride says, no need to Inquire.

To Inquire Leads to Blessings, to not Inquire leads to Destruction.

God is Pleased when Inquire and He is Displeased when we don’t Inquire.

Ponder as to, why you Inquire of the Lord and why you Don’t Inquire of the Lord.


Baal Worship - Represents the worship of false gods, characterized as the ultimate betrayal of the Lord.  

(To Love Money is to Worship Baal).


Inquiring of The Lord - The most common usage in the Old Testament is representing a “deliberate effort” by leaders and individuals to “seek” God’s counsel before making major decisions.


“We don’t know, what we don’t know”.

Therefore, We Should Inquire, Seek Direction From the Lord.


Solomon advises us to “never think of ourselves more highly than we ought”, but to simply “Trust the Lord and refuse to do wrong”.  Wanting to “look smart” to people is part of our fallen nature.  Humility toward and Dependence on The Lord is part of our New Creature Nature; for “The Old Things ‘Have’ Past Away”.  


We do not learn so that we can look smart, as this is Pride; we learn so that “We Can Know What is Right and What is Wrong” and that “we know what to do”.


Never Try To Figure It Out!


Simply, Trust the Lord, Refuse to Do Wrong, Inquire of the Lord; and 

Watch Victory Happen.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”. Our Daily Nugget is Solomon, telling us that Through Careful “Thinking”, we can have “The Life We Choose”.   We are God’s Children, our Father has All Power, who can Do All Things.   Through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, we can do all things through Him.   We can Think Carefully about things that leads to life and things that leads to death.   We, as God’s Children, has been given Great Ability to Control the Spirit World through our “Think...

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
