A Brother Asks: Seeking God's Will

 

A Brother Asks: If we truly get around to seeking God’s will, how do we, as Masons, know & recognize it when it arrives? 

Coach: We'll know when we're given the power to carry it out. Otherwise, without that power, it isn't going to happen.

 

Brother: Where does the wisdom to recognize it originate, and the discernment to know it?

 

Coach: Here are the steps that need to be taken to obtain that wisdom and discernment:

 

Step 1: Complete a strong foundation (EA Work- Bring Order to the Chaos of your Heart)

 

(NOTE: "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." - Socrates )

Step 2: Complete your temple (FC work - Bring Order to the Chaos of your Thinking)

 

    (NOTE: Completing Steps 1 & 2 Bring Order to the Chaos of your Soul, Enable you to Know The Master's Word referred to in the EA degree, along with the Path on must Follow to Understand It)

 

Step 3: Employ all the Internalized Discipline Mastered by Completing steps 1 & 2 to Understand The Master's Word so that you may glean God's Rules & Designs (MM Work)

 

Step 4: Erect your spiritual building agreeably to God's Rules & Designs (MM Work)

 

    (NOTE: Engaging in Step 3 & 4 Work Brings Order to the Chaos of your Spirit)

 

There isn't any better way to get that wisdom!

 

Brother: How do we know how to critically examine the things and people we interact with and properly apply them in the bounds of our lives? 

 

Coach: Complete steps 1 and 2.

 

Brother: How do we know we aren’t overlooking or casting aside the worthy item that is the keystone for building a Temple?

 

Coach: Complete steps 3 and 4. 

Brother: Wow!  I have a lot of Work to do!

Coach: We all do!
