Ask first
Often, when faced with a problem, threat, or situation, we tend to do things our way. Rather, we should ask God for guidance before taking action, and then listen to His direction to proceed accordingly. We can regret if we seek the Lord after the fact or following the result of our hasty action. Let us ask first, and take time to hear God speak - through the counsel of others, His Word, circumstances, and obviously, His still, small voice in our heart.
God's Word says:
"David heard that the Philistines were attacking the town of Keilah and were stealing the newly harvested grain. So he asked the Lord, "Shall I go and attack the Philistines?" "Yes," the Lord answered. "Attack them and save Keilah."" - 1 Samuel 23:1-2 (Good News Translation)
