David did as God commanded him

1 Chronicles 14:1-17
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace for him. And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
In Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim; so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”
Once more the Philistines raided the valley;  so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees.
So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
David was well able to handle the nations around. His family life was his weak point as the other records make plain.
Why?
King of Tyre sent stonemason and carpenter to help David build a palace so David knew that God had established him as king over Israel. All of the help came from every place and people.
David has many wives and sons so his family life became his weak point in his life.
David inquired the Lord twice and the Lord help him defeat the Philistines and recover the land of Israel.
God's way always is a new way, God's command and word is the way to save ourselves and is the right way of blessing.

不是從推羅王送木料、工匠來的外在環境順利來判斷神幫助大衛。因為大衛知道不是自己的作為，而是神的作為。
推羅王知道大衛做王來幫助他，非利士人則是相反的反應，來攻擊大衛。
神總是走在我們前面，再次都求問神，第一次正面迎戰，第二次走背後，即讓神走在前面，我們走在後面。
熱心沒有錯，但是不能超越律法。聽到桑樹梢的腳步聲，必須安靜的聽。人打勝仗，最容易乘勝追擊。神的方法永遠想不到。神要人靠經驗、靠聰明。自此大衛知道凡事求問神。神帶領人的作為都是神按照神的心意來帶領，主動引領。

How?
There is no my own way or my mind before the Lord. God's way is my way and my light.
