We need to learn how to embrace questions to which we do not yet have an answer. Do not insist on certainty on every issue. It will force you to premature statements and inaccurate conclusions. Do not think every question must be answered before sundown. We follow One who is named Truth, but remember He said, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” (John 16:12, NKJV). Sometimes we cannot hear the answer from where we are standing at the moment. Sometimes it takes more maturity than we have to grasp it. Even the Spirit of Truth reveals answers little by little. We must learn how to be good with that.
