For some time now I have been seeking to hear and know God's will regarding something specific in my life; something which I've been talking with Him about in prayer. So far, no answer. Prayer, but no clear response. Maybe some of you, like me, are in a season of waiting to hear from God, or, you know someone who is. This morning (yes, over some good Sumatra coffee with Jesus), I read the following quote from a particular commentator regarding the testing of Abraham's faith in Genesis 22. Perhaps we can apply what he writes to our season of waiting for God's wisdom and will to be revealed to us.
"Abraham was suddenly confronted with that most awesome of problems - a self-contradictory God. Unbelief stumbles over such problems while mature faith waits to see how the distant recesses of the wisdom of God hidden form human reason and understanding will be made known. But the waiting can be excruciating and many people, rather than bear the pain, simply abandon the faith."
God bless with more of His grace for our season of waiting. He will answer. He will reveal His will and wisdom to us. Let's not settle for anything less than this. God bless you and your families this Advent and Christmas!
In God's Unshakable Love,
Mike
