What does David's inquiry in 2 Samuel 21:3 teach about seeking God's guidance? Key Verse “David asked the Gibeonites, ‘What should I do for you, and how can I make atonement so that you will bless the inheritance of the LORD?’” (2 Samuel 21:3) Lessons on Seeking God’s Guidance • Start with God before solutions—David inquired rather than assumed. • Recognize the spiritual root of troubles; seek atonement, not mere relief. • Accept responsibility for past wrongs; guidance includes making things right (cf. Numbers 35:33). • Wait for clear direction; David listened, then acted exactly as instructed. • Align with God’s covenant priorities; blessing follows obedience (cf. Deuteronomy 28:1–2). |
