Sitting in Charlotte Airport this morning, I’m struck by the way King David seemed to regularly seek the Lord when making big decisions. This wasn’t his behavior just some time, but most times, like when going to battle.

2 Samuel 5:20
And once again David asked the LORD what to do. “Do not attack them straight on,” the LORD replied. “Instead, circle around behind them and attack them near the balsam trees.

I think all of us can or should confess we need to seek the Lord’s guidance more regularly, and with greater conviction. Yet David messed up at times, when engaged in a major event, when he should have known better. I’m referring to the time he brought the Ark.
