LEARN THE PRINCIPLES NOT THE METHODS (1)
God wants us to understand in our walk with Him that He is a person and not just a force somewhere. As a person, He wants us to have a relationship with Him. A deeper relationship with God exposes us to His ways and His thoughts. God wants you and me to understand Him by principles and not methods. Practices without principles lead to mediocrity and shame. Practices without principles can also make God refuse to work.
In the first passage above, David had gone to several wars before this occurrence. But in His walk with God, he established that God works with principles; he understood nature and the person of God. If there were many believers of this generation, they would have just gone ahead into battle using one of the methods God had used in the past, and they would have failed. However, look at David in verse 8; he asked the Lord again if he should pursue after the troop. Why did he do that? He knew God is a Person and that you don’t relate with Him as an “it.” That was the secret of the perpetual victory David had in his days. So, God can refuse to work when you fail to understand this.
When a Christian faces a contrary experience to our positions in Christ or the Bible, something is always responsible for that, and we must seek to find out. Years ago, the Holy Spirit told my heart that if a Christian has an experience different from what God has promised, there are two things you can ask for: you can ask God to give you an apology or ask God to provide you with an explanation. If you say God should give you an apology, you are saying God has failed you, God has never failed anybody, and He is not going to start with you. However, if you ask for an explanation, He will only be too glad to explain because He doesn't want us to continue in a state of confusion.
PRAYER: God, help me strengthen my relationship with You and know You more. Amen!
