Worship without Details

Written by ronda on . Posted in Phoebe Connections.

Judges 13:15-16

“Please stay here,” Manoah told Him, “and we will prepare a young goat for You.” The Angel of the LORD said to him, “If I stay, I won’t eat your food. But if you want to prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD. For Manoah did not know He was the Angel of the LORD.

Manoah wanted more details on this son and to learn more about this strange man who promised his wife her life-long dream. He offered the man a meal, not knowing he was addressing the Angel of the LORD. The Angel refused his hospitality but encouraged him to make a burnt offering to the LORD. The appropriate response to God’s grace is worship.

The Angel had told the couple all He intended to tell them. They would now have to walk in faith and obedience. When God gives a promise, we must do the same. While we may want more details, our only option at times is to simply live by faith and obedience to His command. When we do, we will see His promise fulfilled.

If God has you in a place where He’s given you a promise but you have no idea how or when it will take place, simply worship Him and walk in faith and obedience. Trust Him to work His plan in you. He has a greater purpose in mind and is allowing you to participate. You will be blessed, and He will be glorified when you simply trust Him.

Have a blessed day!
