What many people don’t really grasp is that you can’t just demand the LORD to speak to you. God is sovereign and supernatural, operating according to the divine sovereignty of His will.
Take the story of Saul, for instance. He sought guidance from The Lord on a pressing matter, but when God chose not to respond, 1 Samuel 28:6
[6]When Saul inquired of the Lord, He refused to answer him, either by dreams or by Urim [a symbol worn by the priest when seeking the will of God for Israel] or by the prophets. [Prov. 1:24-30.]
So Saul decided to consult a spiritist or medium in a place called Endor. And wouldn’t you know it? The witch was more than happy to assist him with her divination skills! Sometimes, folks think that whatever they ask of The LORD, He must respond immediately or appropriately. But let me tell you—it’s not a guarantee that He’ll answer every inquiry you throw His way!
Reflective Questions About the Teaching:
a) Can you really force The Lord to answer you?
b) What did Saul do when The LORD was unresponsive?
c) What significant lessons can you glean from this note?
d) According to our notes, who operates according to His sovereign will?
Confession Prayer:
Dear Lord, I am grateful for Your will and the wisdom of Your word being planted in my spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
