Finding Answers

Psalm 119:26

When I told of my ways, you answered me;
teach me your statutes!

God listens to you when you talk to Him. God also answers you. He may not answer with the answer you are listening for or in the way that you expect Him to answer, but nonetheless, He answers. God works in ways that we can’t understand, but we are just people with limited knowledge. However, God will move, God will answer you. Throughout the Bible, God says to ask Him for whatever it may be. Sometimes He says yes, others He says no, many times it seems like the answer is wait. He has something better in store for us many times. We just can’t see it yet. However, regardless of the answer, we must be willing to conform our will to God’s. Why? Because that is the cost of discipleship. Replacing yourself with Christ. Following Him and His will for you. Jesus conformed His will to the Father’s and if we are called to be Christ-like, we must do the very same. When we seek God out for requests, we must also seek Him out in His word. We must dig into it because the Bible is what God spoke and continues to speak, we just have to listen. Many times, I’ve found that the most common way that God speaks to me is through His word. He reveals things to me, He displays His glory and His plan through His word. When we cry out to God in prayer, may we be seeking God and kneeling before Him in full surrender, when we do, we will grow closer to our King and His will shall become ours. May we seek His will and His ways in His word and on our knees.
