do you ever try to reason everything out in your mind? or perhaps try to reason some things out in your mind? i can tell you that i lean quite heavily on trying to reason things out in my mind. however, something that i need to be aware of is that trying to reason everything out by myself is a problem, and it can be a very serious matter, that i know i personally have to deal with. i need to ask God to help me to stop reasoning and begin to live by faith, leaning on and trusting in Him and not on my own understanding. In Proverbs 3:7 it says "Be not wise in your own eyes." What I believe that is saying is: i shouldn't even think that i can run my life on my own and do a good job at it without the help and direction from God. Giving up the reigns to God and allowing Him to take full control has always been something that i have found to be difficult. i am sure most of this difficulty can be traced back to my problem with trust. trust to me is somewhat like sky diving. just jumping out of a plane extremely high above the earth with the belief and trust that a parachute will for sure open and keep you from smashing to the earth with great force. but, you know i seriously need to take that leap of faith and believe that God is in control and will take care of me as He will take care of you NO matter what may come. i need to stop reasoning things through by myself. i need to give it all over to God, and walk by faith....for He is in control.
Here Goes Nothing
