I've felt that way many times, too, and I think we should be grieved over false teaching and people being led astray. However, we must remember that knowledge of God can only come from God, and so does discernment and salvation. Nothing can be known or understood apart from His granting it, and sometimes He holds some knowledge back for a time. I think that's part of sanctification. After all, there are things I know and understand now about Scripture that I couldn't before, and I think God wants us to know just how dependent we are on Him even for understanding. As far as seeing others led astray, we must never stop praying that God would give them discernment and open their eyes to His truth. We also must live out the truth faithfully and most importantly in love. "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."-1 Corinthians 13:1. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."-James 1:5<br />Be encouraged, and rest in His goodness and righteousness, perfect love, and infinite wisdom and power. He will be your strength.<br />"Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever."-Psalm 73:25-26Sarah https://www.blogger.com/profile/18070656616946358428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368262301012259938.post-90163978419330424692010-07-09T01:47:28.851-04:002010-07-09T01:47:28.851-04:00I'm reminded of one of my favorite Bible passa...I'm reminded of one of my favorite Bible passages from Isaiah 55:8-9:<br /><br />For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.<br /><br />For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.<br /><br />Sometimes we just don't understand it all.<br /><br />Know that I'm praying for you Michelle.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692160455833039396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368262301012259938.post-41616857526879985052010-07-08T15:08:04.907-04:002010-07-08T15:08:04.907-04:00I am beginning to love your heart, girl. There are...I am beginning to love your heart, girl. There are some things it seems He has chosen to leave us in the dark about. I have come to the conclusion that that's what trusting Him really is. <br /><br />I believe when we get to heaven, and really get to listen to Him face to face, every single one of us is going to be surprised at how much we didn't understand in this life. Not one of us could possibly have it ALL correct.<br /><br />Who can understand His ways? <br /><br />You just keep your eyes on the prize, sister. That is Jesus Christ Himself, magnified and glorified in your life. You'll stay on the right path. :-)Chel's Leaving a Legacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020780288006659118noreply@blogger.com
