PLUGGING IN .... SUBSCRIBE
DATE of posting: 19 September 2015
PARABLE:
With a 4 year old laptop, you tend to be paranoid when you turn it on and...
it doesn't turn on. Sadly I see the pattern behind my freakouts:
First: "What's WRONG with you?- I PLUGGED you in!" >>
Next a check, and then "Come ON! - The charger is inserted into you right!" .....
Finally <insert tiny letters here>
"oooohhhhh.... the surge protector is off. Cat must have stepped on the switch again...."
1. God's always right.
2. There has to be a mis-connection with ME
somewhere...."
And then, with God's help, I either DO find and FIX the mis-connection.....
or I "shelve" the thing until later when I might have more experience or
Learning from future studies to better understand ...
when God often helps me work through it.
But it's NEVER God who is wrong.....
What does LORD God say ?? BASICALLY SIMPLE:
Proverbs 3: 5-6 .... Don't lean on your OWN understanding.
Trust God. And that includes James 1:5 ...
Trust the LORD to give you wisdom
as much as & when you need it >>>>
if you bother to ask Him.
And don't forget Proverbs 3:7 .... Do not be "wise in your own eyes". Other words:
"Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil." (New Living Translation)

SO WHAT ??
At
least such embarrassing (thankfully private if you don't count 2 cats)
moments do help me to remember when I'm frustrated with God: 1. God's always right.
