2 Samuel 7:1

2 Samuel 7:1 says, And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;  At this point, God had given David rest from all his enemies and if we put our faith in Jesus Christ, He has already given us victory over all our enemies, so we should be at peace in the world.  Verse two adds, That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.  David spoke to Nathan the prophet about the fact that he was living in a hose made of cedar while the Ark of God was kept in a tent made of cloth.  We should be careful that we don't spend all that God blesses us with on our own comfort while ignoring the work of God.  Verse three continues, And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.  Nathan told David to go and do all that he felt led to do and that the LORD was with him.  Still, we aren't really told that he consulted God about this.  If feel that we should do something for God leads today, we simply need to do it, but we must first pray about it and make sure we are doing what God wants.  Verse four states, And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,  Though as stated, we aren't told that  Nathan consulted God before, that night God's word came to him.  If we are open to his word,God will never leave us confused about what He would have us to do.  God had a long message for David, and he delivered it through the prophet Nathan so David there would be no confusion on David’s part.  God will never leave us confused about what He wants us to do if we are listening to Him prayfully.
