Again and again we see David inquire of the Lord when he needed direction and protection. This pattern teaches us the way God’s people find God’s will for our lives and our church. We inquire of the Lord. Then we listen. God wants us to know what to do even more than we want to know. Message based on 1 Samuel 23:1-12.Quotes:Duane Brooks: When David was lost in a wilderness, he was never afraid to ask God for directions. When David inquired of the Lord about what to do, he succeeded and remained safe despite Saul’s efforts to kill him. God did not fail him.  And he will not fail us. When we face difficult, risky decisions, we can move with confidence if we ask God for direction.Duane Brooks: Like David, we pray selflessly, not just for information, but for formation, for transformation.Eugene Peterson: We are too often guided by the unholy trinity of my wants, my needs, and my desires.  Self is a broken Savior. A better question than “what do I want” is : what does God want to do for others?  Robert Smith wrot
