“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all." (Proverbs 3:5-7a MSG)
In response to some of our "absolutely necessary" requests to our Lord, I suspect He sometimes wants to say, "Are you sure?" We clearly don't always understand what is in our best interest simply because we cannot see the beginning through to the end. Only God has that insight. We may be convinced our thinking is good but our mistakes should prove to us we cannot manage our own lives. Rather, we must always seek to improve our relationship with the Lord in helping us understand our best path...
In building our relationship with the Lord we strive to seek His will for us - not our will for Him. We strive to become Christ-like in our thinking and then we know in our very spirit the path for Christian happiness. We then know that our decisions focus on our faith in the Lord -- not our faith in ourselves.
-- Rev. Gary Stone
