if any of us lacks wisdom

when my husband and i step into our church each week we are seeking the wisdom of GOD's word. we are seeking the knowledge of others that know the scripture better than us. sometimes it is hard to hear the truth of GOD's words. GOD always puts it in your face when you are wrong or right, no matter how much that wounds you. HE wants you to keep learning from HIM and keep thirsting for HIM.

as you grow in your faith you try to understand what you can do and some things you just have to let GOD handle because HE knows what is best for you. GOD's rules come before man's rules, so you have to put HIS rules first no matter what. that is not easy to do. GOD uses our emotions to gage when something doesn't feel right that is why you usually need to take a step back and wait for HIS response on how to handle something. if you feel like you can't make a rational decision then seek guidance from a pastor or counselor.

this journey with HIM never ends. we will have this learning process for the rest of our lives until we go to HIM in heaven. we all will continue to make mistakes in our journey. we all will continue to learn from our mistakes. all we can do is pray that we are guided in the right direction, because the devil will play on our insecurities and make it worse if we don't go in the right direction.

my stress level is overflowing right now. for the last two months i have been tested by GOD more than i care to be tested ever again. it is all HIS way of trying to teach me to rely on HIM. HE is testing my faith in HIM. i think a lot of the stress we feel is spiritual warfare; GOD is telling you one way and the devil is telling you another way. if i can't figure out which is GOD and which is the devil then i need to seek advice from my church to help me understand which is which.

i hope that i never get to a point where i think every decision i make is right, because if i do that then i'm not learning from HIM anymore, then i'm not thirsting for HIM anymore, and i'm not relying on HIS word to guide me.

"i will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; i will counsel you and watch over you." psalm 32:8
