Food 4 Thought 8/7/07

Greetings,
Here is the recipe for today...

Proverbs 20:24
A man's steps are of the Lord; how then can a man understand his own way?

We do not understand anything unless the Lord allows us to. So if He hasn’t allowed us to understand certain things, why do we try and understand it ourselves? What are our motives in trying to understand something if God doesn’t reveal it? Do we seek to feel in control? Are we in fear of not knowing the outcome? Why do we seek to try and understand everything?

What happens when we try to understand something without a revelation from God? We end up replacing God with reason. Limitation should not lead to elimination. Remember, in order to get Godly wisdom you have to retain Him in your knowledge by studying His word to get an understanding.

“We tend to use reason before revelation"
