In her book The Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom recalled a time when, as a young girl, she was returning home on the train with her father after accompanying him to purchase parts for his watch-making business. Having heard the term “sexsin” in a poem at school, she asked her father what it meant. After thinking for a bit, her father stood up and took down his suitcase from the rack. And this is how Corrie remembers their conversation: “And so seated next to my father in the train compartment, I suddenly asked, “Father, what is sexsin?” He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise he said nothing. At last he stood up, lifted his traveling case off the floor and set it on the floor. Will you carry it off the train, Corrie?” he said. I stood up and tugged at it. It was crammed with the watches and spare parts he had purchased that morning. It’s too heavy,” I said. Yes,” he said, “and it would be a pretty poor father who would ask his little girl to carry such a load. It’s the same way, Corrie, with knowledge. Some knowledge is too heavy for children. When you are older and stronger, you can bear it. For now you must trust me to carry it for you.” That’s what God, our Father, does for us.

In this ‘must’ read teaching article, Dr. Mike, reveals that, How God guides us, isn’t just a pastoral matter, but how we must be willing to do His will in those things He has already revealed, if we are to know His will in those things He has not yet made known. God has already made known the greater part of His will for us in the Bible: our problem is simply being obedient to it. In Psalm 32:8-9, the Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
