Bible Note: Hi Doc, Yes, the Lord Himself. And realized through the living out of those works He calls us to. My comment had come from a conversation I had recently had with my brother (biological). We were talking about how we discover God's will in both major life-changing decisions as well as everyday events. Of course the bible is the first and best answer. Our course must be in keeping with obediece to the truth found in scripture. We include prayer and meditation which is essential. We never rely on our thoughts or feelings (desires) but we consider them in light of what we gain through the reading of the bible and prayer and meditation. Finally we have the responsibility of action, which should always be in faith and sometimes faith is the only thing obvious. So then, the desires of our hearts are certainly not always from God, but those that are can be discerned as such and then faithfully acted on. my thoughts provoked, Jeff |
