Taking time to reflect and seeking how to seek the Lord's help--
--More than just thinking-->Some deep reflective thought.
Take a look at the statement in the next paragraph below and consider if it sometimes may actually express something that others do not share.
Very few will ever state something like this: “My previous note was many years in the making—with much prayer”. Even if they did make that statement, it is quite probable that they thought it, or something related to it. The statement is likely to be ignored because that is not how the corporate thinking is going on at that time, or the system does not recognize it. Most people, when a situation presents itself, only think about it the moment they learn of it, and do not realize that considerable time, prayer, searching out, which may have gone into what they are hearing. Looking at that the person hearing about a situation—and not realizing the history behind it—History which represents combined with feeling, issues, hurts, heart aches, and even good things—the person hearing about this situation may make what is seemingly a right decision—especially withing a system way of thinking—and completely miss the mark.
If we look at how God works, are we putting the way God works into a box or a system—that in effects says that He can only work that way?????????
I have often wondered if we are really listening to the Holy Spirit?
I would love to hear the reactions from what I have written—especially if they are transparent—especially if you have been on the side of many years of prayer only to have a corporate system seemingly miss the mark.
I am taking a step of faith in Posting this note. I sense it shows where we need much prayer going before us, preparing the way. Sometimes it is hard to muster much prayer when you are the only one who may have seen a need that should be addressed. What is a need can represent many different things. I am referring to needs that come from our study of the Bible and application to real life situations—both current and historical.
The Bible speaks in Proverbs 28:11 of the “But the lowly who understands searches” Could this mean more than just searching out the rich man—but those in corporate settings who set policy, or how we operate?
I have been a researcher for many years and wonder if through the research I have done or examining my personal experience, I have sensed the Holy Spirit impressing me on issue—but wonder—what is keeping others from understanding.
I hope your responses will share your experiences in issues related to what I have shared above.
Then—how have you worked through that issue—especially through the corporate system‘this is the way that our organization works’.
