Submission Without Cognition
It's easy to understand how there are times when a child should simply obey parents in certain circumstances, without understanding the reason exactly. The old hand-on-stove example is been reused, rehashed and hung out to dry, but there are many instances. And yet, just as a child finds it difficult to obey, we have difficulty being obedient to God when we don't understand. Of course, it does become a little bit more difficult, considering that God's voice is seldom audible. Still, there are times when I've known I've heard from God, but still question whether I've heard correctly because the direction seems counter-intuitive. The key to the whole exercise is simply to recognise that we're not all-knowing and that God is. And that is a learning curve most of us have been on a long time and are still on, myself included.
