Audio Version
1 Samuel 30:8 —”And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.”
In times of fear or uncertainty, it is easy to act on impulse. The urgency of the moment can cloud our judgment, and the thought to pause, and ask God first often slips away. King David faced such a moment, his city was raided, his possessions taken, and his people captured. Yet, instead of reacting rashly, he chose to inquire of the Lord. His decision to seek God’s counsel first, led him to complete restoration.
Many believers today make hasty choices driven by financial pressure, societal expectations, or fear. But true recovery is not found in quick fixes or popular opinions, it is found in God’s guidance. As Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us, trusting in the Lord wholeheartedly and acknowledging Him in all we do positions us for divine direction and success. God’s wisdom will always lead to the best outcome, far beyond what human strategies can achieve.
Today, choose to make seeking God your first response, not your last resort. Do not be swayed by urgency or influenced by voices around you. Trust that God’s guidance will not only preserve you, it will empower you to recover everything the enemy meant to steal. When you align your steps with His will, you are assured of victory. Hallelujah!

PRAYER FOR A NATION
DENMARK
Denmark, the oldest kingdom in Europe, is a coastal nation on the Jutland Peninsula with over 400 islands and a strategic maritime location important to NATO. Its capital, Copenhagen, is a top tourist destination. Governed by a constitutional monarchy, Denmark boasts a high standard of living supported by a strong welfare system, though it chose to retain its currency over adopting the Euro. While traditionally open to immigrants, recent years have seen stricter immigration policies. Although over 80% of Danes identify as Lutheran, church attendance is very low, with many considering themselves agnostic or atheist. However, increasing spiritual openness has led to the growth of new churches and ministries across the country.
