[The Glory Unveiled]
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. [ Psalms 62:11 KJV ]
If you checked, you would discover that very few people ask God for anything. And fewer people ask for a confirmation of what is claimed to have been said by God. David, the author of the Psalms above is known to always seek confirmation on any matter. No wonder he was a wise king. From his youth, he was known to always seek a second opinion. For instance, when he came to visit his brothers on the battlefield and discovered his nation needed a man to face Goliath and that there was a prize for the man who conquered Goliath, he asked twice. (See 1 Samuel 17:27;30). Whenever he faced an army he will always enquired of God to be sure God was leading him there. And often, he enquired twice. When the Amalekites burned his city and took his wives, he didn’t impulsively chase after the Amalekites even though the lives of his wives were at stake and his properties were taken. He waited on God. He sought for confirmation before he pursued the enemy. (See 1 Samuel 30:8). The natural response to such a situation would be to chase after the enemy without thinking twice about it. But that style is the reason why many people are frustrated and upset with their lives. Nothing is what it is at face value. Many things only have the appearance of what we may think or desire, but not exactly those things in themselves. God speaks once, but we can hear Him twice if we ask for confirmation of what He had said. Don’t assume what you think God said is what God said. Ask again. Seek clarity, confirm it.
