I think it is awesome that like most other things in life God gives you the time to get to know him. He doesn't expect you to get to know him all at once. Like any other relationship it takes time to even get some understanding of who God is?
In Matthew 8 and Mark 4 the two chapters finish with Jesus calming the sea while the disciples are in the boat. The disciples are amazed that he can do as they have asked of him. Then they ask this simple question who is this man, who can calm the sea?
I believe that this allows us to simple freedoms:
1. To make requests of our God
2. But more importantly to be able to take the time to get to know him and experience him. When these two incidents occurred the disciples had already experienced some teaching and miracles by walking with him for a period of time. Thus allowing us to walk with God, to experience our God. To not always get right and even to get it wrong and still be in relationship with him.
Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom to learn? Something I have been thinking about for a while. learning to know what you know in "your knower" and getting it wrong on the way. Before you get it right. Enjoy!!
I love that God gives us these freedoms and that he makes sure that he shows us so explicitly in his word. Use your freedoms well!!
