thoughts this morning (sat 24th)

what's the significance of the mulberry?

it's the way of warfare
coz battles are not ours but the Lord's 
we can't rely on our skills n experience, but we need to inquire of God what to do in battle.
victory belongs to God

2 Sam 5:18-25
David won his battle repeatedly when he waited at the mulberry tree, for the sign that God gave him, to advance, n it was in his obedience, n reliance on God's wisdom that he won the battles.

he did not assume that the battle can be won the same way as how it was won the previous time. he didn't go into battle on his own, but asked God whether he shld fight the battle, and waited for God to show him how.

even though we have past success and achievements, we are not to do the same thing again the same way, without first asking God..

do not assume that we have done this before and it works so this is how we should do it again..

situations change, God knows best
