“When thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees."
2 Samuel 5:24. It is tempting to charge a path and make decisions without talking to God. Those ventures have never turned out well, “Lord should I go or should I stay?” It serves us well to check in. Spending essential time with God will help us do that, like Daniel who prayed three times a day, keeping our lifeline with God fine tuned. David’s greatest blunder in life is when he made a decision without consulting God. Spurgeon wrote: He would wait until God's sign was given; he said, "I will not lift my spear nor my hand till God hath bidden me do it, lest I should go to war at my own charges, and lose all I have obtained." My brethren, let us learn from David to take no steps without God. The last time you moved, or went into another business, or changed your situation in life, you asked God's help, and then did it, and you were blessed. You have been up to this time a successful man, you have always sought God, but do not think that the stream of providence necessarily runs in a continuous current; remember, you may tomorrow without seeking God's advice venture upon a step which you will regret. I beseech you, do not go before the cloud. If Providence tarries, tarry till Providence comes, never go before it. He goes on a fool's errand who goes before God but he walks in a blessed path who sees the footsteps of Providence. Listen to the sound of the mulberry trees and do not go before the cloud. GiGi❤️
