Then David asked the Lord, “Should I chase after this band of raiders? Will I catch them?”And the Lord told him, “Yes, go after them. You will surely recover everything that was taken from you!”
1 Samuel 30:8
When our hearts are shattered by circumstances beyond our control, we have blessed hope through our Savior, Jesus Christ.
David helps us navigate the business of brokenness and the road to restoration. After David took time for tears, strengthened himself in the Lord, and inquired for God’s will in his particular situation, he had one more thing to do.
Today’s verse is telling us, when it says that the Lord answered David, that is one of the most beautiful statement that could ever be made. Spiritual victory must be ours before material, financial, or physical victory can come. David now proceeds with assurance that the Lord is with him and, that being the case, he will “recover all.” It is the Will of the Lord that you recover all that Satan has stolen from you.
When he asked the Lord if he should chase down the enemy, God responded that David and his men should pursue them. Not only would they overtake the enemy, but they would, without fail, recover everything that had been stolen from them!
David had to act on the instruction of the Lord. That word was good for nothing unless David was willing to move out in faith to pursue, overtake, and recover all. There is a moment when we wait quietly, in faith, to receive the strength of the Lord. But there is another moment where we hang back disobediently, in fear, because we are too afraid to fight.
Perhaps, the broken pieces of our hearts are still shattered and scattered because we have not taken the action that God is prompting. We must take an active role in our healing. Faith without action is dead. David pursued, overtook, recovered all, and returned rejoicing. God’s Word had already decided the outcome.
LET’S PRAY.
This morning l pray that you shall surely recover all and everything the enemy has stolen from you in double portion in Jesus’ glorious name. The grace of God will constantly remind you to keep your focus on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Captain of our boat, the Author and Finisher of our faith for sound health, strength and protection until the destruction is over. I pray you will observe all precautionary measures required of us even as the Lord hides and keep you under the shadow of His protective wings in the name of Jesus Christ. By Authority of Scripture, the Power of the Blood of Jesus and the Fire of the Holy Ghost, l decree and declare you shall recover all and every oppotunities the enemy has stolen in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I decree and declare from today, you will have dreams again, see visions again and hear His voice again to accomplish all He has created for, to the glory of His name in Jesus mighty name. Amen, Amen and Amen! Fountain to your life.
