Obvious for the Obtuse

(Proverbs 20:24 KJV)  Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

How can I “understand” (995) the will of God?  What does He want from me?  Here is a place where the question is asked but the answer is found through the entire book as well as the entire Bible.  You can start with basic scriptures such as Micah 6:8.

(Micah 6:8 KJV)  He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

That is good for a general overview of attitudes and behavior.  Proverbs is full of advice.  The verse before this calls for honest weights and measures.  The verse after warns you to “think before you speak.” 

So?  God may not send you telegrams for specific choices but there are always general guidelines to help us.  Our problem is more that we don’t want to follow what we know than it is a need for more information.  Wear the blue today, it goes well with your eyes.
