If I don’t know anything about this?

If something I know is good and honors God how can I say that I want it if I don’t know anything about it?

faith it. it's always best to live the word of God yourself rather than to study it from commentaries or experience vicariously. ie: one day i read the verse where paul wrote how God loves a "cheerful" giver. so i prayed and asked God to allow me to yada (personally experience) it for myself. then the day came when i was working and just had gotten back from the bank with an envelope full of bills. it was pay day. so there i went, driving down the road when i saw an old man and an even older lady in a wheelchair. they were together and the guy was pushing her in the wheelchair. so i prayed and inquired with the Lord if this was someone I could help. so i pulled up to them and asked them about their situation. turned out the man said he could use some help with extra bus fare. so i reached in to my envelope, intending to pull out one bill but as i did, the Holy Spirit filled me and i started taking out bill after bill and handing it to him. he was blown away. and i was getting overwhelmed by this point too. i tried explaining myself but as the seconds ticked away tears and laughter started flowing as well. thank God he was a believer too. cause i must have seemed like a madman that day. but it was all good.

by the way, do you know the word thats used for "cheerful" in the original greek?

it's hilarós - meaning to describe spontaneous non-reluctant giving.

and do you know that's where we get our word "hilarious" from?

Well, you know that thing is good and honors God, so you can't say that you don't know anything about it.

It is I know what is but don’t know anything about it.

This little poem will be right up your alley -

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away…

What can happen is God blesses you with something, and then you discover what is good about it.
