Deceitfulness of Man's Logic

Proverbs 3:5-7:
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.


It never ceases to amaze me how people have the ability to rationalize their choices and carnal desires in life as somehow being aligned with God's will. The individuals who in times of trial cry out to God to be with them and guide them through their present situation, and when God answers and it's not the answer they were looking for they keep praying for God's will. I've heard basketball players say "Put up, or Shut up!" stop talking and start showing us what you can really do. It's the challenge to go from talk to walk, from dream to reality. To be quite honest and blunt, some Christians need to stop praying about the situation and start OBEYING! You can pray yourself into receiving the answer you want and say that God spoke to you. No, you spoke to you! God's written Word holds the answers that we are looking for. How many of us know Proverbs 3:5 and have held on to it dearly in times of need, yet don't know verses 6 and 7. 6 "Seek his will in all you do,and he will show you which path to take. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil."
When we trust, we will seek,
When we seek we will find His will,
When we find Him we will realize how deceitful our wisdom really is.
