Seek the complete truth!
** Often times we let the "How" govern our lives- through rash decisions instead of seeking the truth when necessary! There are always things which can lead you astray - seek the complete truth before acting.

We all want to know the "How" in our life - Patience and seeking is the answer and many times the answer is " NO" or not "That " way"! Learn when to seek and then follow the truth! Trust God!
Luke 1:34, "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"
LUKE 1:26-38
Contrast Mary's question and Gabriel's response with the question that Zacharias asked Gabriel and the response that he received (Luke 1:18-20). You will find the questions are similar but the responses are totally different.
Both Mary and Zacharias asked how these miracles would occur but it is evident that Mary was asking "how" in faith while Zacharias was asking "how" in unbelief. It is a clear Bible teaching that unbelief doesn't please God (Heb. 11:6), but the Lord doesn't mind us questioning Him for the purpose of instruction so we can cooperate with His will in our lives.
{How we learn to cooperate makes all the difference in the result! Seek the truth!}
Abram knew that it was God's will for him to have a son but Abram and Sarai came up with their own plan which caused them and the world much grief (Gen. 16:1-6). Abram would have avoided many problems if he had asked the Lord how He was going to accomplish this miraculous event.
If Mary had not questioned this angel, she might have reasoned that Jesus would be born through the natural union of her and Joseph. This would have been a grave mistake. It would have disqualified her from being used.
It's not enough just to know God's will. We need to continue to seek the Lord until we know God's plan for accomplishing that will.
