The first time I heard about “there is more” was from Don Moen, I believe there is more, some years ago. Again, early this year, I heard it again from Hillsongs, Australia in there yet to be released album–there is more.
I believe there is more. The Christian life makes no sense at all without the resurrection. It is the resurrection that makes us have some courage, strength, encouragement and confidence in the ability of God to save even to the end.
It is useless to live a life without a purpose. The purpose of the cross would have been futile without the resurrection.
D Easter reminds us that there is more, and indeed there is more. Even if we cannot get everything in this life, there is Hope that we will get everything in the life after this present life. Hope.
God’s Will–what is revealed and not revealed
God reveals a lot of things through His Word. All we need is to read and pray for understanding. Yet, God speaks to people today in a unique way.
God reveals idea to our thought. Whenever you exclaimed, “oh and I was thinking about that.”–it is God who is probably trying to tell you an idea but our finite mind is trying to grasp it.
Of what use is it to tell a toddler what is only useful for a teenager? If God perceives a message or idea or findings will be too much for our finite mind, He is most likely to hide it from us.
He would rather protect us than hurt us with what He is giving us.
Therefore, if an idea is of no benefit to us, He will never make it known to us. Remember God told Daniel that he should write the message down because it is for an appointed time.
An idea or a message will not come before the appropriate time. This calls for patience when dealing with God. And don’t forget, everything in life takes time. It takes time for God to reveal things to us also because of our limited nature and we live in a limited world.
God’s Will–What we do not Know
There are mysteries and there are revelations. Many of these God often show us. But there are so many things we have no understanding for. Things happen in life that we have no idea why they happen.
Sometimes, we wonder why people suffer? It is even more surprising when good people also suffer. Yes, a lot is happening that we cannot clarify.
For everything that we do not have answers for, we know that The All-knowing God knows it all and we can be rest assured He is in control of anything we cannot control.
So, for everything we do not know or have answers for, let us leave it in the Hand of the supreme being who knows it all.
Handing over to God what you cannot handle creates inner peace and rest of mind. “Hand over” means leave it and don’t worry anymore.
God’s Will– What we Know already
There are some clearly written God’s will and we know this already.
It is God’s will to give thanks. Jesus constantly gave thanks before doing anything. He gave thanks and then the two fishes and five loaves of bread multiplied.
It is God’s will to stay away from all sexual sin.
It is God’s will to stay and live healthy
It is God’s will to lack nothing.
Find and follow what is expressly written in God’s word, and you won’t make any mistakes.
How To Know God’s Will– Simplified
It is not difficult to know the will of God for our lives as we think it is. The reason is because, sometimes, we already know His will but we often think we do not.
First, whatever you decide to do today–whatever choice(s) you make and steps you take, to some extent, are part of God’s will for your life. We just don’t know this.
In the next days, I will discuss a few topics in a series that explain knowing God’s will for our lives.
–what we know already
–what we do not know
–what is revealed and not revealed
–following others
–making mistakes
–what exactly is His will in this case
