2 Samuel 5:19 AMP
David inquired of the LORD.....”
Do you know why David is so intimate with the Lord (I mean you will see it all over the book of Psalms). David prays about everything.
Betrayal from his son, his goals for the work the Lord has given him, for his generation, for his dynasty...David prayed about everything.
In this prayer we see in 2 Samuel 5:19, David was a KING in waiting, and a Prophet He could have decided to pursue the adversary because naturally it makes sense. But David inquired of the Lord.
As a parent your plans for your children will follow a natural course.
Are they ready for school? apply for one
Are they due for potty training? Teach them
Are they ready to be independent? Give them responsibilities
But a Parent after God's heart like David should always inquire of the Lord.
You are not inquiring because you are incapable of making good decisions, you are inquiring because the Lord who has 360 view and knows what is ahead in tomorrow will give you counsel and perspective that you did not consider.
Perfect parents know how to seek God's perspective about anything concerning their child(ren).
Father I thank You for this wonderful Parent reading this, that the spirit of prayer be found in their journey as parents again. Give them a home built firm on the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Prince of peace-giving us parenting peace that surpases all understanding. Grant them according to Your name wise counsel every moment of the way. And may their children be fruitful olive shoots surrounding them in their old age.Amen
