Lack of Understanding

Pointing out our lack of understanding of our God's (or indwelling Holy Spirit's) work in our surroundings, Sarah Young wrote, "I AM TAKING CARE OF YOU. Feel the warmth and security of being enveloped in My loving Presence. Every detail of your life is under My control. Moreover, everything fits into a pattern for good, to those who love Me and are called according to My design and purpose. Because the world is in an abnormal, fallen condition, people tend to think that chance governs the universe. Events may seem to occur randomly, with little or no meaning. People who view the world this way have overlooked one basic fact: the limitations of human understanding. What you know of the world you inhabit is only the tip of the iceberg. Submerged beneath the surface of the visible world are mysteries too vast for you to comprehend. If you could only see how close I am to you and how constantly I work on your behalf, you would never again doubt that I am wonderfully caring for you. This is why you must live by faith, not by sight; trusting in My mysterious, majestic Presence. {Romans 8:28 (amp); Job 42:1–3; 1 Peter 5:7; 2 Corinthians 5:7} We must remember we are children of the King, the creator and maintainer of the universe."
There is much encouragement here, however, this presentation seems to set aside our choice for dependance on the Holy Spirit to guide us along our unique independent spiritual journey. We must realize that God is most interested in the eternal destination of His children. While He may bless us physically in ways we can realize, His primary focus for physical blessings is providing all people opportunities to move closer to Him. Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” - Jn 16:33 (ESV) The Holy Spirit works in ways we cannot comprehend, but His working is in line with Scripture. Scripture is clear that humans make the final choice and thereby are responsible for their actions. The real challenge is whether of not one follows the guidance they understand.
