WE square up to God with direct questioning (don’t worry, the psalmist King David did the same) and become distraught at the apparent lack of answer. The reason is that God is more interested in having a relationship with us than answering all the questions. Waiting for His timing is a basic need in our impatient culture, and learning to enjoy a walk with Him where neither side necessarily talks but both achieve communication is a skill worth working at. However, a key need is to accept and welcome Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit as our encourager, teacher and means of revelation. It’s not an option, it is a requirement of Christian kingdom living. Are you open to the fullness of the Spirit of Jesus, to make you more like Him, in communion with the Father? We all need to ask, and to receive afresh. Main scriptures cited are Rev. 1: 17-18, Ps 38: 15 (The Message), Micah 6: 8 and 2 Cor. 6: 16 and John 14: 15-26.
