What leads you on

is it God that leads a believer on?
-
but then again, how certain are we that the God that we know really is God...
-
or is it just a mess of human emotions? or logic?
-


the problem with youth culture
-
is that more of than not, the perception of God has become a mere emotional figure
-
rather then a real God, who is so much more then this
-


so tell me
-
if being in a particular circumstance brings forth particular emotions and thoughts
am I to say that i should simply follow these thoughts and emotions?
-
i highly doubt it...


or logic - another scary part
-
while God does give each person the ability of a sound mind
-
yet the “foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of man”(1 Cor 1:25)
-
We all know very well, that many a time in biblical history, God has asked his followers to do something ridiculously absurd.
-
Like buying a field when you know that your land is about to be conquered by the Babylonians(Jeremiah 32)
-
Like marrying a loose woman you know for sure is going to cheat on you (Hosea)
-


so this whole problem is, how can we discern the will of God
-
the order is important...
1. Prayer
2. Word
3. Inner peace
4. Godly Counsel
5. Circumstances

-
the order is important... look what happens if we screw it up:
-
Example:
Circumstance - person A likes B
Godly Counsel - Friends think B is good, more often than not they don’t really say much
Inner Peace - since friends - emotions, feel good about it _ ????
Word - distortion
Prayer - distortion

-


and in everything we know, God has a timing, and a purpose
-
I guess, we need to learn to wait too...
-


sigh...
I dunno why no matter how I try to convince myself
I still feel like this...
-
but even so.... as circumstances would dictate otherwise...
-
which direction should i go...
