Greetings in The Name of Jesus Christ, The First and The Last,
Deeper Things
Knowing the will of God:
The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 KJV
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9 KJV
The verses above, along with others, teach us that God does not reveal all things to us and that He operates and moves in a realm that is far above our limited wisdom and understanding. Despite this truth, Our Heavenly Father has graciously given us His Word which supplies ample wisdom for this age and the ages to come.
There are three primary reasons why believers struggle in discerning God’s will in specific matters.
The number one reason is failure on our part to know His written Word. We are lazy and ignorant in searching out His truths.
The second reason is our failure to obey what we do know of God’s written Word. If we are not walking in obedience to God’s revealed Word, we can expect confusion in regards to His specific will for us.
The 3rd reason we struggle in knowing God’s specific will is that we want to know in advance what God’s will is so we can decide if we want to obey it or not. This is blatantly dishonest and you cannot fool God.
God desires to direct our paths. We must come to Him on His terms.
your brother in Christ
P.S. Jesus Christ is coming soon.
Do not be deceived.
