John 16:23-“And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing.”
Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today
People are filled with questions.
Skepticism furrows the brow.
We wonder, we ponder, we vacillate
Stifling the Holy Spirit somehow.
People ask intelligent, sensible questions
Their I.Q proudly on display
But the Lord with a Divine, planned agenda
Is limited, because we won’t trust and obey.
Lord, forgive prideful, “more information”
It is a tool causing insecurity in me.
Thinking, “If I estimate the outcome
I’ll be better equipped to serve Thee.”
In our search for comfortable answers
Have we stifled what faith we knew?
Where is our old, “Faith of our Fathers?”
Sadly, it died as our intellect grew.
Pride is practiced to pose questions.
Pride is fear-filled analysis with threats.
God says, “Child, learn to trust Me.
I haven’t abandoned you yet!”
Today if we question God’s leading
Bringing honest concerns His way
He is more than willing to teach us
Because we are learning to trust and obey.
