In THE BOOK OF BOOKS we are reading about David and Joshua. I noticed a difference between David and Joshua.

I don’t know what you know about David and I don’t know what you know about Joshua. Does Goliath come to your mind when you hear about David and does Jericho come to your mind when you hear about Joshua?

DAVID

I noticed that David inquired of the Lord. He did that not only once, but he did that twice in one chapter. Please notice that the circumstances were the same, but the answer of the Lord was different.

Please read chapter 14 in the book of the Bible called First Chronicles and compare verse 10 with verse 14.

JOSHUA

Joshua did not inquire of the Lord. Israel just did not inquire of the Lord. They just did not.

Please read chapter 9 in the book of the Bible called Joshua. It says there in verse 14: “The men of Israel …”

We can be like David or we can be like Joshua. I want to be like David!
