Seek the Will of God

There's nothing better than pursuing the will of God. If we aren't pursuing His will, then we are pursuing our own. We may think that we are doing the right thing, but it's actually us who are assuming. Seek Him in everything you do.

'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' -Jeremiah 33:3

This morning I read my subscription email that reads, "Remember Kathryn Kuhlman?" in its paragraph. It talks about her choice that turned out to have a devastating effect in her life, call and ministry. It was until she decided to repent by divorcing her husband after eight long years of being trapped. God totally restored her after this and increased the anointing on her life. Why did that happen? I recalled that her husband divorced his wife for her. I was befuddled when I learned about this, I couldn't believe that Kathryn Kuhlman would do that.

Today it seared deeply into my heart and I decided to look it up again. I learned that Kathryn Kuhlman didn't know. Although she sensed that God's will wasn't with her through it all. It reminded me of Bathesheba, I questioned about whether Bathsheba knew about the murder of her husband or not. Here's the answer to Kathryn Kuhlman's life:

Burroughs and Kathryn decided to wed. While discussing the matter with some friends, Kathryn had said that she could not "find the will of God in the matter."These and other friends encouraged her not to go through with the marriage, but Kathryn justified it to herself and others by believing that Waltrip's wife had left him, not the other way around. On October 18th, 1938, Kathryn secretly married "Mister," as she liked to call Waltrip, in Mason city. The wedding did not give her new peace about their union, however. After they checked into the hotel that night, Kathryn left and drove over to the hotel where Helen was staying with another friend. She sat with them weeping and admitted that the marriage was a mistake. She decided to get an annulment.
The three women left Iowa for Denver in hopes of explaining what had happened to the congregation of Denver Revival Tabneracle. The congregation, however, was so furious with her for the secrecy of the marriage that they drove Kathryn "back into Waltrip's arms."

It doesn't matter if the story is accurate or not, but this story taught us something. That we cannot expect God to clearly warn us about the dangers ahead of us, but us discerning whether we are in the will of God.

It sadden me to learn that the congregation drove her to remain a failure for eight long years rather than remain a failure for only a night. It's not in our saying, about anybody's situation, but God's.
