In our previous message, we saw how our own skewed perspective can be an obstacle that keeps us from understanding God's will for our lives as believers, because of our lack of Scriptural understanding of His principles. Two other obstacles to understanding God's will include our own policies, which prevent us from practicing God's principles, and what we believe is PERMITTED because of a lack of direct commands from God in certain areas. In both of these cases, we are making our own decisions about what the standard is, or whether there shouldl even be a standard based on a lack of direct commandment from the Lord. Until we learn to live by God's principles as the foundation of wisdom that guides every decision of our lives, not only will we miss God's will for us, but we will also miss God's blessing, |
