Hide or Ride 

 

 1 Samuel 30:1-8 

David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it, 2 and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way. 

3 When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. 4 So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. 5 David’s two wives had been captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God. 

7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, 8 and David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” 

“Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.” 


 

 

Who are you surrounding ourselves with?  

 

It’s important to know who is around you so that regardless of if you fly or fail you will not have to worry about your inner circle. The stronger the foundation the greater the victories. 

 

 

Even in our distress, we need to ask God like David did “David inquired of the Lord”. And when we get the answer dare to trust that what God said, God will do. 

 

 

Your gifts, your talents, your anointing is specifically yours. Don’t let the pressure of the people around you determine the direction you take. If God tells you to go forward, then go forward and walk into the Victory that He has already set aside for you.
