“Call For The Ephod” by Kirk Hunt

 

And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

1 Samuel 30:7 KJV

An unruly mob of trained killers were mumbling and looking David’s way.  Their homes had been burned.  Their wives, children and livestock had been carried off, captive.  Something had to be done.

 

David’s situation was exactly the same as that of his men.  Still, the troops blamed their own leader for their pain.  The gathering pile of stones was not a good sign for David.

 

David did not panic or breakdown.  He responded.  He called for the Ephod and started talking to God.

 

The word ephod has different meaning when used in Scripture.  In this verse, it referred to a means of determining God’s Will.  <http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/5790-ephod#anchor4>   David sought a rhema or Word from God.

 

Scripture does not say how the ephod worked.  All we know is that David received clear and fresh direction from God.  David then turned and faced the mob, and shared his revelation from God.

 

No matter what you are facing, you can call for an “ephod.”  You can receive a fresh Word from God.  Pray.  Study Scripture.  Fast.  He will speak to you.

 

You will get your rhema.  With a fresh Word from God, you can face your unruly mob of stone gathers.  Your revelation from God will speak life to the mob and the situation.

 

Think: I can always seek a fresh Word from God.  No matter what.

 

Pray: “Lord, remind me to seek a fresh Word from You.”
