What Do You See in Your Clouds?

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Verse: “Behold, He cometh with clouds.
– Revelation 1:7

Quote: “There is a connection between the strange providences of God and what we know of Him, and we have to learn to interpret the mysteries of life in the light of our knowledge of God. Unless we can look the darkest, blackest fact full in the face without damaging God’s character, we do not yet know Him.”

I’m hanging out with my nephews right now and don’t really have time to expound, but I love that quote. I should be back on track tomorrow.

The Way to Know

Verse: “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine…
– John 7:17

Quote: “The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience.”

If ever there is a time when you feel spiritually disconnected, or in the darkness, you can be sure there is something God has spoken which you do not intend to obey. Intellectually, we feel disconnected because of ignorance, but spiritually it is almost certainly a lack of obedience.  You may not have gone left when God said to go right, maybe you stayed still when God said “Go.” Obedience is heeding God’s direction immediately. You may hesitate before you obey, like the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21:28-32, but you will remain in the darkness until you do.
