"It's what we do with that knowledge and understanding that justifies us or condemns us."
This is where the rubber hits the road then, eh? It is hard sometimes to know exactly what God wants from us, in certain situations. There is a man, he's maybe about 40 something. He comes to the food pantry and then goes to the AA meeting they have there on the pantry days. He knew I was a Christian so he walks up to me and (this was the National day of prayer about a month or so ago. He mentioned to me that it was the national day of prayer and, he wished he could go to Church where he used to but, he does not drive and he moved too far away to get there. It happens to be the same Church I go to but, a different and closer campus they just opened last year so, I offered him a ride. So, picked him up that next Sunday...he went right to the front of the sanctuary and just lifted his arms up for a bit, then sat with some woman he knew from our same neighborhood. The following Sunday, he say's he can't make it that day, not feeling good. The NEXT Sunday, he says he's out in Holland Ny, which is about 45 minutes in the opposite direction than the Church. The next time it was, well I'm not in S. Buffalo anymore I am in Kenmore...now, I'm sorry but, there is just no way I can be driving all over the place to pick this (obviously) not very stable man (whom I really do not know other than to hand him food when he comes by my station) Does God want me to be using up all my gas for this person? Why can't he take buses? And, another time, recently...looked like a family with a couple teens
hitchhiking...they had cardboard sign but I couldn't make it out. I was momentarily thinking God wanted me to pick them up and then, wisdom kicked in...at least I THINK it was wisdom, and I kept driving but, throughout the day, I wondered if God was asking me to pick them up and take them where they needed to go? These are the grey areas I have a tough time with. Is it really God telling me to do something, or is it the impostor trying to dupe me into a dangerous situation?
