2 Samuel 16:12 (KJV)
It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
It is interesting to think about King David. In some instances, he was very certain of the will of God. At times, he could ask the Lord and know whether to go into battle or to refrain. On other occasions, he was instructed to wait, to move to a specific place, and to watch for the Lord’s signal. In those moments, he clearly knew the will of God.
But in this case, he did not know what the outcome would be. He only knew what the appropriate attitude of a believer should be.
Life happens—things both pleasant and unpleasant. Some events are the result of our own actions, while others come through no fault of our own. Sometimes we can search the Word of God and find a clear response and a definite course of action for life’s events. But more often than not, the Bible teaches us the attitude we are to have and not the exact action—trusting God that “it may be” He will turn them in a way we consider favorable.
Yet, as the three Hebrews testified, even if not, that biblical attitude was—and still is—the right one.
