#soap # Judges 13 ## Title: Asking For Clarification ## Scripture: (Judges 13:8) Manoah prayed to the Lord, “Please, Lord, allow the man sent from God to visit us again, so he can teach us how we should raise the child who will be born.” (NET) ## Observation: There is a difference between asking God to alter His plan and asking God for clarification. I cannot tell you how many times I have grown weary of what God put in front of me to do. Because of this, the plan becomes blurry or I feel as though I may have strayed off course. When this happens, it’s such a blessing to be able to ask God to clarify His plan in my life. Samson’s dad had heard of God’s plan, but he asked God for clarification. This is great and God obliged the request. Don’t ever be afraid to ask God, not to change His plan, but to clarify it along the way. ## Application: Realize that God knows us. So, be honest. Ask for clarification along the way. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for desiring a relationship with us.
