Do you seek god during your daily battles?
Perceive: The soldiers of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh were successful in combat because they cried out to God during each battle. Although they had insight and expertise as combatants, they prayed and sought God’s direction. The normal and advanced capabilities God gives us are usable for Him, but they should never substitute our necessity for relying on Him. When we rely on our individual expertise, talent, and strength rather than God, we open the entrance for self-importance.
Practice: When confronting a difficult situation, seek out God’s purpose and request His power and presence. Examine yourself and the situation for ways you can step forward in action and ways only God can act. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. “
Pray: O Lord my God, help me in dealing with _____________. I need to know what You want me to do in this situation and then act in ways only You can live out Your will.
