God's Leading

How often have you heard that God leads us through circumstances? Does that really make sense? This is not to say that God does not use circumstances, but it seems like circumstances in themselves, are not good sign posts of the Lord's leading. Think of what would have happened if Paul had followed God's leading through circumstances.

  1. I agree. That leads to a kind of fatalism, when sometimes we're supposed to keep knocking, look for a window, or even break down the closed doors.

    It can also be an excuse. Gravity, entropy, ongoing unseen opposition...sigh. I'm beginnning to see that once I accept the fact that resistance is something I'll wake up to, and go to sleep to, every day in the spiritual as well as the natural, it helps me to approach life more wisely, creatively and hopefully more proactively. What about you?
