Summer vacation is only one week away. Many parents with younger children at home have been wondering whether or not to take their children abroad during the global economic recession or where to go if they’ve planned on having their summer trips. 

While making a plan, particular of any type of vacation, we take many factors into consideration such as time, how long being spent on vaction and budget, how much being spent on it. Being Christians, do we pray to God for his guidance before we actually plan on our vacations or holidays?

King David, whom God called a man after his own heart, sought God’s will in the time of fleeing from Saul. After Saul was defeated and killed, he asked God for directions. In 2 Samuel 2:1, David inquired of the Lord, ” Shall I go up to Judah?” The Lord replied, “Yes.” And David continued to ask, “Where shall I go?” The Lord said to him, “To Hebron.” David asked God initially whether he should go back to Judah instead of discussing his plan with his men. Then he kept inquiring God of which area of Judah he should go. He was aware that God had been protecting him and leading his army. God was his Lord and he should consult with the Lord.

In our Christian walk, do we show reverence for Jesus? Do we seek Him all the time however small or big, even a trip?
