Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.
I've had so many blog posts floating around in my head of late, but I apologize, because I get involved in some major Biblical research projects and hope to get to put on more posts, when I can.
I've had two situations lately, where people close to me have told me that I'm not listening to them, in the way they would like. I keep trying to solve their problems, instead. You, know, they're right! I wanted to say they were wrong, but after lots of prayerful contemplation on this, I have to be honest and admit my faults.
I wonder if, when I try to brainstorm solutions for situations, I sound like I'm the only one who knows the right answer to whatever they are dealing with at the time?
I wonder if, because God's done so many miracles in my life, I feel compelled to have the answers for others?
I wonder if, by brainstorming answers, it keeps me from being personally involved in what they're feeling at the time?
I wonder if, by trying to brainstorm the answers, I'm acting like I'm all knowing, like God? I hope not! I've had so much circling around in my mind over this and I feel it's noteworthy if two different people have said this to me about the same character flaw.
I do know I don't have all the answers, and I do know that God does! I figure if God wants me to make changes, I have to continue to be prayerful for His divine guidance, because I can't do it alone... and I don't have to have all the answers!
