1 Samuel 23

"When David was told, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors,” ² he inquired of the Lord, saying, 'Shall I go and attack these Philistines?'
The Lord answered him, .Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah.'...  Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, and he said, “God has delivered him into my hands, for David has imprisoned himself by entering a town with gates and bars.” vv.1-2,7

Read chapter 23
Both David and Saul seem to have a response what God told them, but their answers would contradict or seem like God was conniving.  So what is up?  Their cant be two truths as one would make the other false, either their both wrong or one is right and the other is false.  With David we see him inquire of the Lord and the Lord answered him.  With Saul he assumed that God had delivered David into his hands because it was something he wanted and now seemed to be at his finger tips.  To Saul he thought it was God's way of showing that He answered his prayers.  As the rest of the chapter spans out we know that David escaped and was not delivered into Saul's hands, so we know it was David who had the true words of God and not Saul.  How often does it happen in believers that they assume God was doing something just because it was something they wanted?  Yes God does answer our prayers and sometimes not the way we want Him to, but if it contradicts His truth than we have to realize it's not of God's will.  Do you inquire of the Lord in matters or do you jump to conclusions like Saul?
