Just like you communicate with your husband, so does God communicate with us. He speaks to us in different ways.
i understood my husband.
all the time.
we knew each other from constant companionship and what we had in common.
we knew each other intimately.
face to face.
if my husband was away, he wrote letters.
the same understanding was in the letters.
if i did not know him, his letters would have revealed him to me.
getting to know him face to face took a long time.
God has revealed Himself in His Word, which is active and living. that's how we get to know Him.
the Spirit in us is working.
we communicate as christians.
the same with my husband.
i knew him. because i had gotten to know him.
i didn't have to ask what he meant when he spoke
because i had gotten to know him.
God will
not lead us subjectively.
guess work.....it's not His way.
