*DAILY DEW 3/MARCH/2023* *WHEN GOD'S "YES" APPEARS LIKE A "NO"* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then all the Israelites went up to Bethel and wept in the presence of the Lord and fasted until evening. They also brought burnt offerings and peace offerings to the Lord. The Israelites went up seeking direction from the Lord... The Israelites asked the Lord, "Should we fight against our relatives from Benjamin again, or should we stop?" The Lord said, "Go! Tomorrow I will hand them over to you."* (Judges 20:26-28 (NLT)) _Bible Insight:_ The Lord said, "Go! Tomorrow I will hand them over to you." There is no other way to walk with God, than to trust and obey. Repeat the process over and over until the required outcome is achieved. Never lose faith in the process. In total the Israelites had lost 40,000 skilled soldiers just within two days of fighting the Benjamintes. It is not that they didn't hear God. They heard God. They sought God's face. God had told them to go and fight! Yet, God's YES, ended up appearing like a NO! Wow! No matter how disappointing walking with God may appear at times, like David, remember, even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, DO NOT FEAR! Cry if you must, repent, if you must, Go back to the place of prayer, add fasting even, seek His face some more, BUT NEVER NEVER NEVER SEEK ANY OTHER CONTRARY ALTERNATIVES! Never think you can do better than God! Stay with God even when he is not making sense. Perhaps it is a test! I don't know for sure but what I know is that in the end, HE WILL DELIVER HIS PROMISES unto you! *"They went out on the third day and took their positions at the same place as before."* Judges 20:30 Do it again. Take your position. Fight! _MEDITATION:_ *"I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."* (Philippians 4:12-13 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
