One Day at a Time

1 Samuel 22:1-5

1David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there. 2All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.

3From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?” 4So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.

5But the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.

Sometimes we have no idea what to do next, so we just have to walk it out one day at a time with God. We may feel like we’re doing something wrong because the end still seems so fuzzy and far-off. But just as David walked and waited through this season of his life, we also go through seasons where we simply have to walk and wait.

We may feel like nothing is happening and like we’re not where we’d hoped to be, but God is never 𝘯𝘰𝘵 in the process of unfolding His plan.

Did you notice that the small army God built around David was made up of those who were 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘣𝘵, and 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥?

Well that sounds like a promising group;)

But most Bible scholars believe that David’s three mighty men were among that initial group!

One step at a time, one place at a time, one person at a time. We walk and wait, again and again, until we eventually see what God was in the process of doing the whole time.
