Inquiring of the LORD

I attended a friend's cell group this evening and was reminded of the following verse:

"The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD." - Joshua 9:14 (NIV)

How about us? Do we inquire of the LORD?

"The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the LORD; so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered." - Jeremiah 10:21 (NIV)

"Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse." - 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 (NIV)

"I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the pagan and the idolatrous priests - those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry host, those who bow down and swear by the LORD and who also swear by Molech, those who turn back from following the LORD and neither seek the LORD nor inquire of him." - Zephaniah 1:4-6 (NIV)

But

"...seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
