Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you.
Follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, The Teacher asks, Where is my guest room (Mark 14:13-15)
This is a very detailed, specific instruction. I dont remember any other instruction like this in the gospel.
Sincerely, I wish all instructions from the Lord were as much in detail as this. Though it could be just my dull ears that fail to receive all of his instructions, many times I rely on his words recorded in the bible. Some other times, I inquire of the Lord and receive simple, general instructions.
Not having received before as detailed instructions as this passage, I tend to believe that if a believer acts based upon the words of the Bible, the Lord honors him and does what he asks. With one mind, I am content. But with another mind, I wish I received his detailed instructions so that my will or mind will not interfere his work.
I dont know if what I am thinking is right or wrong. It is so new to me, I need to spend time praying and learning about this matter.
Lord,
Can you give me detailed instructions from time to time so that I can weigh if I should always wait for specific instructions or act on faith sometimes? There have been many failures and disappointments when I did the way I did. I am weary of starting out unclear of what lies ahead. If it is for my training, let it continue to be so. But if it is the dullness of my ears, please help my ears. Amen.
