Clue By Clue 'Till You Know Who

A youth pastor was called into the senior pastor’s office and told he’d offended someone in the congregation. The youth pastor was prepared to make amends, but rather than revealing the offended party’s name the senior pastor simply stated, “You need to pray about it and let God reveal it to you.” Certainly we know God reveals things to us when we ask, but I’d have been thinking, ‘You’ve already got the answer. Surly God wouldn’t mind if you give me a clue.’ Eventually the youth pastor concluded the offended party was more than likely the pastor’s wife. Placing this scenario in the business world, I can’t imagine an administrator telling an employee to think (pray) about who in the office they’ve offended. Scripture simply states we’re to go to one another when there’s an offense, leave it to man to complicate things.
