Do we ask How before we say Yes?

When Father brings a challenge to you, how do you react to it?

If you are like me then you might well try to work out the details before you want to commit to anything.
What will it cost me (time, money or anything else)?
Do I even like the direction the challenge is going?
Is it really from Father?

That last question, is the only real valid question to ask!

The other questions are really concerned with, Do I really want to do this? (What ever this might be.)

If Father issues a challenge to us then shouldn’t we be ready to say yes to him?
He is LORD GOD after all.
The highest authority.
The One who cares and Loves us.
The One who gave his only Son to save us.

Do you see why I’m saying the only real question we should be asking is… “Is this truly from Father?”

Asking if the challenge is from Father is the good and sensible thing to do.
If we do not ask that question then we could be easily led astray, but once we know that the challenge is from Father, then how do we respond to it?

If you are like me, then you might well still be asking the question of “How is this even possible?”

Which leads to the question of, will you only say yes to Father when you know how?
You see Father doesn’t always work that way.
Sometimes we need to say yes to Father before the how is revealed.

Sometimes Father might want us to say yes before he gives us the answer of How.

The problem for me is that sometimes I can get too concerned with the How to the point where I start to forget to say Yes.
I can get caught in the trap of, if I can’t see how to do this then how can I possibly say Yes to the supposedly impossible?

What if Father wants us to say Yes to him first?

If this is the case then the How will follow! (Father does know the How after all.)

So the question remains, will you say Yes to Father, even when you don’t know the How?

Father,
Help us to know where you are leading us to go.
Give us the confidence to say Yes to you, even if we don’t know the details of how.
Help us to follow your promptings and your ways.
Amen
