Sometimes it may seem easier to lean on our own understanding, sometimes it seems easier to rely on our own strength not knowing our strength does not come from us. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.~Proverbs 3:5-6.
When I think of this verse I think about how easy it is for us to follow what we think is best and assume we know the right path for our lives, the right school, job etc and rely more on ourselves than on God.
That is why I captioned this blog "Hot And Cold" because sometimes we are on fire for God then other times when he refuses to answer prayers on our time we get cold feet and lean on our own understanding, then wonder why things are chaotic. The truth is God's thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways, He has a perfect plan for all of us, our responsibility is to follow in the direction He guides. Of course this is easier said than done, but it is possible.
Stay blessed!
