Bible Note: Hi Tim: The availability of knowledge of God's will is what is in question, not the fact that as humans at different levels of growth and relationship will sometimes not hear. But if we are taught to believe the knowledge of His will is not available we will not even try to find out. This I believe is both tragic and sad. Our Father's provision is so great and the price was so high. In James 4:16 James says 'Now you rejoice in your boasting: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefor to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin. I believe James is speaking to folks who are not asking God for his will based on verse 17. John 5:14 This is probably one of my favorite verses and one that keeps me aware of the need to stay in communication with God through the Holy Spirit. Here again we are agreeing with God and believing, not asking God to agree with ur OR asking praying a shotgun prayer hoping something will hit. We must not forget we have an enemy and if our faith is not focused on the Word of promise we are vulnerable to the attack of doubt which robs us of our faith. The Word produces faith, Understanding God's will gives us boldness to stand in the time of trouble or temptation. This issue is so important because if believers only understood how urgent it is to seek God's revelation of His truth we would not wait until we are attacked to try to find out! Just like He told Paul he would go to Rome and suffer. Paul knew what was ahead and chose (bound by love) to go. 1 Cor. 4:19 Paul did not have long range knowledge of God's plan and will but when he did move he knew it was God's will. We may not always know in advance. Our walk is a daily faith walk.. Sufficient to the day are the troubles thereof. It is a growth walk. God is drawing us, training us, and just as we see the progression of faith from Adam to Abraham to David To Jesus, so is our walk. God does not send us to Goliath before we face the lion and bear at home... Blessings! |
