Trust God's Wisdom, Not Your Feelings
By Rick Warren
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil." Proverbs 3:5-7 (NLT)
----------------
Have you ever had the feeling that something was so very, very right, but then when you did it, it ended up being so very, very wrong?
Feelings lie. They lie to you all the time! There's an old country song that says, "How can it be wrong when it feels so right?" Are you kidding me? There are a lot of things that are wrong that feel so right in the moment.
After six months in a relationship, you wonder, "What was I thinking?" Just a few weeks into a job, you think, "How in the world did I get caught up in this?" A quick decision that seemed harmless at the time leaves you broken and scarred years later.
If you want to experience fewer dead ends and failures in your life, you need to hear what Proverbs 3:5-7 says: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil" (NLT).
If you really want God's blessing on your life, you have to depend on God's wisdom and not on what your feelings say or what your gut says. In other words, trust in the Lord and not on your own understanding.
So how do you get God's wisdom?
You pray. You talk to God, and you let him talk to you as you read the Bible. That's how you get his wisdom.
The Bible says in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you" (NIV).
God doesn't want you to make foolish mistakes. He wants you to succeed. He wants you to make wise decisions with your time, money, and relationships.
The truth is, you're not waiting on God for his help; he's waiting on you! It's like he's saying, "Hey! I'm here. I'll give you wisdom, and I'll give it generously. I want to make you wise. You've just got to ask."
If you want to be blessed, you've got to get God's wisdom. And if you want God's wisdom, you need to ask for it—and then be open to receive it.
