The way from God

Difficult circumstances and fire conditions can cause confusion. At that moment, our impatience begins to reason : "God must not have meant what he told me, or maybe the problem is my inability to hear his voice. all I know is that he told me and what I see developing does not add up."

When Saul surpassed the guidance of God, he acted only on logic and reason, not on trust. Listen to the series of excuses he gave to the prophet Samuel to move forward from the direction of God : "When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you were not in the appointed days, and that the Philistines were gathered together in Michmash, then I said, The Philistines will now come down upon me in Gilgal, and I have not pleaded with the Lord. offered a holocaust" (1 Samuel 13: 11-12). Saul took things in his hands, doing what he reasoned was his only option. And that ended in pain.

This question of waiting is so important that we find references in the Word of God. Isaiah writes : "We will say in that day, Behold, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us. We have waited for him, we will be happy and rejoice of his salvation" (Isaiah 25: 9).

"For from the beginning of the world men have not heard or perceived by the ear, neither the eye has seen God outside you, who acts for him that awaiteth him" (Isaiah 64: 4).

Beloved, the way of God is not the way of the world. And the only way to gain a divine experience is to wait patiently for it in the faith. This kind of divine experience comes to those who are in communion with the Lord : "Knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, character and character, hope" (Romans 5: 3-4).
