When things go wrong,questions arise Word of the Day:“In the first place,” Paul writes, “I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.” There is no question that such divisions still exist in the church today. We say we seek the leadership of the Holy Spirit, and we say we believe God has brought our church to a place, or understanding, or to appoint church leadership. But when things go wrong, and questions arise, where do we turn.
Do we turn to God and ask Him for guidance? Or do we point fingers, and complain? James writes, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it.” When it comes to disagreements in the church, we ultimately have one question to ask: “Do I seek my will, or God’s will to be done?”
Numbers 12:2, NIV:Â “‘Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?’ And the LORD heard this.”
