Psalm 63:1-2 O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. 2So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

1 Kings 19:11-12 11Then He said, Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD. And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake;12and after the earthquake a fire, butthe LORD was not in the fire; and after the firea still small voice.
Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind.

And the LORD said to David, Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah. 3But David s men said to him, Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? 4Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.
2 Samuel 5:17-25 17Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold.18The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.19So David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to David, Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand. 20So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water. Therefore he called the name of that place[a]Baal Perazim.21And they left their[b]images there, and David and his men carried them away.
22Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.23Therefore David inquired of the LORD, and He said, You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.24And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the LORD will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines. 25And David did so, as the LORD commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba[c]as far as Gezer.

1 Chronicles 15:13 13It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the LORDour God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.
