Why not take action ourselves instead of burdening God?
There is a reason he gave us brain and brawn. He wants us to use both.
I just watched that movie “The Patriot” .....great movie, but I forgot how horrible it was and it was especially horrible to watch NOW with all this going on lately.
We are to approach The Lord FIRST before taking any action, as Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, knows ALL THINGS—the end from the beginning.
Nothing is impossible with The Lord, and nothing is impossible with those who believe on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Yes, He gave us our minds; but as Christians we need to fill ourselves with The Word and meditate on it with prayer for guidance from God. Constant, fervent entreatment before The Lord of Hosts will prompt you, through the power of His Holy Spirit within you, to do what is His will, and when. It will be go, stop, or wait.
Advancing and proceding in plans from your own knowledge and mind, outside His Perfect Will, brings disastrous results. It is like someone that has been drinking, and then getting behind the wheel with that euphoric sense that they can still drive safely—but ends up running head-on into another vehicle being driven by a dad carrying his wife and children home from a family gathering...and now they are being grieved over by family because they were killed. By someone making a rash decision based on their own pride and knowledge, deluded in wrong-thinking.
Wisdom tried to take the keys out of that drunk driver’s hand but man’s knowledge and thinking said, “I know what I’m doing! Leave me alone!”
That’s the very state of this world today, and why it will eventually perish.
Don’t jump ahead of The Lord. Watch and pray.
