For the past few months I have been thinking. Not just normal thinking – like whether to eat oatmeal or Cheerios. Or whether I should use a black pen or a blue pen.
No, I’m taking time thinking about beliefs and convictions. Too often we merely come close to issues and wait. Sometimes that is the right place to be, as God asks us to be still and know! Sometimes it is not.
When the issue stands in front of us, perhaps the best thing to do is confront! I can’t say I’ve walked through the path to a conclusion. But I am on the road. I’m seeking God’s thinking, and the thinking of others who also seek God.
I find that this type of thinking arises, almost on a regular basis. I could wish that God would dump all wisdom on me all at once! Not so! But I’m thankful for God’s promise that if we ask for wisdom he will give generously to those who ask.
So, I’m asking and trusting.
