PARABLE:  
Among a child's first words are "Mine!" 
As soon as most learn to play games, they demand "MY choice"... or even "MY rules!" .... Sadly, it's really hard to mature past that instinctive attitude of desire...... "My way or the Highway"... 
 
Versus GOD'S way which is to (1) Listening to counsel + 
(2) pray for James 1:5 Wisdom of God to 
(3) TEST all things (1st Thess 5:21) before 
(4) reaching a Firm Conclusion. The alternatives?


SO WHAT ??
"My way is right" was NOT the Beliefs of Bereans, whom God has praised THRU HISTORY for Humbly seeking scriptures "diligently" because they preferred Truth to insistence that they were right in any disagreement with Paul's counsel (see Acts 17:11).

What does LORD God say ?? 
(1) God says Fools don't listen to counsel, which HE often provides thru people -- Proverbs 12:15. 
 
(2) God says Fools are so self-confident that they 
pridefully refuse to consider 
that they might be wrong --
 
Proverbs 14:3 + 17:10 where God says wise men *accept* rebuke-- admit that they could be wrong... God GIFTS wisdom to all who humbly ask... 
 
James 1:5. But the key word = Humble.


Prayer: 
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),   Help me to be wise.... and HUMBLE.
