Tonight was another long day... Saturday at the pool was slamming, and we had hundreds of people coming through our gates. I got home after working all day in the sun, and made some chocolate cookies, and then did several hours of Spanish homework.
Last night at church was amazing. It was about how the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. I go to church on Friday nights because I work Sundays, and that is my only time to get some fellowship and some much needed teaching. Proverbs 1:7 says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
The wisdom of God may seem like foolishness to man, but man is inherently idiotic. We know absolutely nothing. The more we learn and discover, the more our eyes should be opened to the depth of knowledge yet to be attained.
The whole point though, is letting God control your life, and not controlling your own life. Believe me, He is much more capable of running your life. He is all knowing, all powerful, and all loving. He promised in His word that all things work together for the good of those who love him and who are called according to his purpose.
I wish I was better at trusting God. But I am such a control freak sometimes. I want to psychomanage my life, and I overanalyze everything, and I am so stuck in my pride, that I am running my life, and running it well. What a stuck up assumption! Everything good in my life is a gift from God-- given to me despite my best efforts to thwart His Holy will. I came into this world with nothing. Everything I have is a gift, and it is arrogant to claim even the smallest portion of the credit.
