God's presence never dwells where He is not acknowledged. To David Obededom 's residence was a safe house but to Obededom, it was the arrival of God's visitation he had waited for. Praying and fasting in wickedness will never guarantee an answer to you. The price tag of not trusting God brings unexpected losses but trusting Him gives peace to sleep amid storms. If you can't trust God for yourself, hardly would you for your family and others. Don't focus on external cosmetic beauty but strive to delight God and man with your internal beauty and character.
