Matthew 24:15 When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
As our faces differ so do our needs and in God’s own time and way, God will let us know what is the right time and place to make our move. In order for us to understand God’s providences we will have to study His written word, we will need to observe all of the situational evidences He provides, and most of all, we would need to listen, hear, and obey when the still small voice of God speaks to us in our consciences.
Quality time will have to be spent in the audience chamber of The Most-High on a regular basis, for just as it is with human relationships, quality time spent with someone greatly increases a familiarity with that person’s voice. The Holy Spirit only leads persons who are willing to be led and therefore, a humble and teachable spirit, coupled together with the three ways mentioned earlier, in which God’s providences come down to us, would greatly help us in reading what God does more accurately.
And it will make our spiritual discernment so much clearer, that we would not keep on going back to Eli, when God is trying to reach us. We therefore end with a passage of scripture which promises us God’s continual guidance, when the stated prerequisites are fulfilled.
Proverbs 3: 4 So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
