Scripture: Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Observation: There is I believe a fine line between reason and just making things turn out the way that fits your agenda. Where is the trust in that--I mean if I am in control all the time.
Application: Prayer is a wonderful gift of conversation with God. It is a means of grace that has been given me to use in developing a relationship with God. There are other wonderful gifts available.
There are few people I know who are thinkers and understanders as I like to refer to them. One of those folks is my sweetie, my darling wife Deb. She is a thinker, and understander. She had the power to read and discern and that has always been a problem for me. I am a surface person, a dreamer. I can see a finished something out there some where but the details is hard to reach for me--I need understanding of details.
I pray a lot. Then, I go to those thinkers and understanders for the details of how to reach the dream.
I said all that to say this, I do my best to fully rely on God and those folks whom I deem much more able to acquire understanding; then, I don't have to rely on my own.
Prayer: Lord keep me humble and help me trust in you. Help me to dream of things that glorify you and expand the kingdom. And Lord, bless those thinkers and understanders who help me along my way. Thanks for loving me, Stephen
Yieldedness: I give up any thoughts of relying on my own understanding all the time
