You don’t know what he wants, then BAAM! You know what he wants. <br /><br />But learning to do anything is gradual. It goes in steps. It is incremental. It is divergent before it is convergent. <br /><br />This, I think, is partially the reason why God doesn’t tell us, blatantly, what to do. I can tell a student how to solve a math problem, but they need to learn it. God could tell us what to do, but we need to learn how to reach the conclusion. We need to learn, in essence, HOW to discern His will. <br /><br />Let us patiently learn from the Master Teacher, so that we may all learn to do His will.Tony Hollowellhttp://www.tonysclassroom.comnoreply@blogger.com
