If you want to know how meticulous God is, take time to read the provisions of Judaism, particularly the book of Leviticus. Take for example the detailed procedure established to ascertain if a house had been plagued by leprosy. The house would be shut for the first 7-day period. After this, the priest would return for a second inspection. If the darkened spot had spread beyond its initial point, then he would command the affected stones to be taken down. New stones would be fixed and covered over with new mortar. That again would be subject to another seven days of observation. At the end of this, the priest returns for the third inspection before he proclaims the house fit for habitation or to throw down the entire building.
“Firstly, you cannot rush the things of God. Those who will enjoy walking with Him have to learn processes and procedures, which takes time.”
Several lessons come to light here. Firstly, you cannot rush the things of God. Those who will enjoy walking with Him have to learn processes and procedures, which takes time. Secondly, we must know issues that call for minor adjustments as distinct from what needs a complete overhaul.
There may be occasions where an entire structure may have to be brought down not only to build something new, but also build more accurately according to God’s plan. Ability to know which one is due is not only a sign of maturity but also a demonstration of wisdom.
