Topic:
God's Will In A Time Of Suffering, Part 2 Of 2
The big picture of God's will is a picture God
readily gives us. However, most of us do not want to bother with the big
picture of God's will. We want the small picture. We want hour by hour
details and instructions concerning what He wants us to do. God has
given us His big picture directions through the wisdom and guidance of
the Bible. Unfortunately, we often have trouble living our lives
according to the big picture instructions found in God's word. In truth,
we may never get our detailed minute by minute account of what God wants
from us because we are too ignorant of His big picture instructions for
us. If we cannot live our lives in ways that glorify God and restore
hope to others according to God's big picture directions, God (being a
rational being) would certainly not be inclined to give us minute by
minute details we could not follow. In other words, if you cannot follow
the big general directions of God, God will not give you the small
general directions. In addition, we may not be given detailed
instructions on a minute by minute basis from God because these
instructions might make us excessively dependent upon God for direction
and insight. An excessive dependence upon God might destroy our free
will, a precious gift God has abundantly given humanity.
