Welcome

One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G

Matthew 11:5 - No Direct Answer

Matthew 11:5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosytare cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor


Jesus gives the disciples of John a list of the things He is doing. Ever notice that Jesus hardly ever just gives a straight answer.  "Are you the one...?"  the straight answer would be "YES"  but instead He is always helping us by giving just enough information so that we can learn and figure things out from the inside.  When we are told something we have resistance of many sorts, but when we discover things from the inside, by way of the Holy Spirit we will have the tendency to learn in a deeper way and retain that information in a more meaningful and useful manner.
APPLICATION
I need to learn to ask more questions and help others to figure out stuff instead of just telling them what to do. Today I will not answer any question directly to see what transpires.
