Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Who demands perfection? Who asks for total theological understanding? Who makes issues of details? Who strains at a gnat? Certainly not God!
All God asks is that we turn around. All He asks is that we acknowledge Him with all our hearts. Oh, how He knows our frame and our inability to understand things. All He requires is that we love Him and turn our will towards His instruction and then, oh then the most wonderful thing happens.
If we only but turn our hearts to Him. If we only but resolve to give Him all our love and attention, He does the impossible. He pours out His Spirit upon us; behold, He makes His Word known unto us: finally, we understand, finally we know. We did not obey because we understood, we understood because we obeyed. He said to love Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. He told us that, because only within the veil of our loving relationship with God lays the understanding of His instruction.
As we spend time with Him enjoying the food and comfort emanating from His Spirit, He also reveals to us the beautiful future He reserves for His children, and that my friend, is where strength and faith for today is found.
