planing to obey

If any of you know me, then you know that I like to talk. I can talk to a perfect stranger almost as if I were running for some sort of political office, but I also can be quiet and be a people watcher. I actually enjoy that most, people watching. I like to see how people interact with each other and how they respond in different situations. God can be like that too. He can watch and likes to watch how we handle things or he can speak to us.

I have been doing a study on discerning the voice of God, and today's topic was planning to obey God's word. They put it like this, have you ever asked for someone's opinion on something with your mind already made up?...if you have, what was that person's response when you did what you wanted from the beginning?(assuming that they chose something other than your original choice)...They usually end up made and wondering why you even ask in the first place.



I think it is safe to say we could expect God to react similarly. Now hear me out, i'm no trying to be blasphemous. If we ask God what we should do but we already have the plan in our mind of what we will do, then it is not too outlandish to think that God would not answer since he knows everying and know that we don't want to do what He wants us to do anyway. Make sense?

So, it was really about being planning to take the advice of God, no matter how different it is from what we want, because (lets be honest) He knows best anyway.
