#soap # 2 Samuel 02 ## Title: Ask the Wisest Person in the Room ## Scripture: (2 Samuel 2:1) Afterward David inquired of the Lord, “Should I go up to one of the cities of Judah?” The Lord told him, “Go up.” David asked, “Where should I go?” The Lord replied, “To Hebron.” (NET) ## Observation: I have always loved asking questions. This used to drive my parents crazy. Now it drives my friends crazy. I enjoy learning from others. However, I have learned that some people don’t know certain things about life because their experience doesn’t give them any perspective. For example, I wouldn’t ask a friend who has never been to Mexico what it is like in the winter. He simply doesn’t know. It’s the same with the toughest questions of life. When we encounter hard things, we sometimes ask everyone except God. I think the reason is that God doesn’t usually answer us immediately with an audible voice. He answers in quiet ways and usually through others. However, when it comes to the most important questions, we should ask the wisest, most important One we know. ## Application: Whatever is burdening your heart, give it to God. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for caring about the things in our lives.
