Scripture
Acts 5:38, 39 "And now I ("Gamaliel"=Recompenser) say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone for it this plan or this work is of man, it will come to nothing; But if it is of God you can not overthrow it lest you even be found to fight against God."
Observation:
Gamaliel, being a studier of the scriptures, knew that the men of God would be made evident by God. Those who were not of God would be found out sooner or later.
Application:
When situations come along in which I'm not sure what to do, especially when people are involved, I am to keep away from that situation and let it play itself out. If the intention is of the flesh, this problem will disolve. But if it originates from God, it won't be possible for it to disolve because that would be resisting God who was the 'Originator' of that situation (in order to teach me something to grow me up). I am not to resist or war against God. He will fight for me! And we will win over this situation together as I allow His will to be done! He sees the end from the beginning...I do not!
Prayer:
Father, if this 'situation' is YOUR plan, help me to do Your will...and let it lie.
