Bible Question: My ? is this. When Gods people in the old testament heard form God and he told them to go here or do this they would do it and I am sure it increast there faith.I here preacher say to day if God told you something he will do it.If I have a proplem and need an answer, Do I weight to Here from God or do I go to the bible and try to find a verce that will answer my ? I am sure of this, If I heard from God in a dream or voice I could take it to the Bank. I would no for sure that God was going to do it. But if I go to God and find in the bible verce and chapture. I can use my faith to belive. But the chance of reciving my answer would be "Maybe so or Maybe not" even so I have faith. Would you please comment on this. |
Bible Answer: Dear Blazer, Most of the time what we think is important is not important to God. He is loving Father. Have you ever noticed that a child may think it is important to play, when the parent knows that it is not time to play but it is time to sleep? In the same way, sometimes the questions we have and the things we want are not what are best for us. So, the question is this: How do we tell what is important? God has provided the answer! He has given us the Word of God. You can study the Bible to understand how He wants you to live and what He wants you to believe. You see, as you focus on the things that are important to God, the other things of life will properly come together. He promises us that in Romans 8:28. By the way, don't bother looking for voices, dreams, or experiences. God's message to you in the Bible is much more precise than any of those other things. Besides, those other things are most often completely wrong. But the Word of God is something you can count on! In Him, Doc |
