Well, let’s break it down as much as we are able.
It’s not difficult to understand that approaching the Most High God in prayer must be done in reverence and awe.
Similarly, it’s not hard to realize that anything written through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is significant (even if we may not understand exactly why).
There are numerous examples in the Bible where a person obeyed without a clear understanding of the reason for the command.
For instance, Abraham, while still known as Abram, was told to leave his family, his town, and all that he knew. He was 75 years old and began to move across the wilderness living in a tent. The narrative begins in Genesis Chapter 12.
Eventually, Abraham is told to sacrifice the son that God had promised to give him as a burnt offering on an altar. Genesis 22
Did Abraham understand why God said to sacrifice his only child (the child that was going to make him a great nation)?
No, he did not.
The next morning, early in the morning, Abraham set off with his son, Isaac, and demonstrated a complete willingness to do what God commanded. He was prepared to slay his son and offer the boy as a sacrifice to keep God’s command.
We don’t have to understand the reasons why God commands something to be able to obey what He says.
God tells us the uniform to wear in His presence during prayer and prophesying, i.e., no head covering for a man.
The woman is to veil her head with a scarf, bonnet, or external covering.
Like Abraham, we can choose to obey(even when we may not entirely understand everything).
Obedience, without understanding, is biblical faith.
It’s trust in God!
