You know what ? we don't have all the answers !
Now don't get me wrong , it s ok to ask for advice from people we consider wise but our main source should be God!
Proverbs 3:5-6
New International Version (NIV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
In Proverbs 3:5, We are called to trust God with all hearts and not lean on our own understanding . When we Lean on are own understanding we tend to fail or miss what God wants us to know/ he has for us .
In Proverbs 3:6 , We are called to submit our ways/ our life to God and when we do that , God will put life on the right path, now that does not mean life will be easy but with leaning on God's understanding , you can deal with life's problems .
Here is a example of a time in my life when i didn't lean on God's understanding.
Between the summer of 2011 and summer of 2012 i was looking for work , i was having a hard time finding work and put myself into a depression . I kept on saying i am doing all i am suppose too .
I was leaning on my understanding and others , i wasn't praying and asking God what i should i do .
God blessed me with a opportunity to move to New york to live with a friend from bible college .
I was able to find a job there. God showed he was in control and that i need to lean on him.
In closing i want to leave you with a Psalm and a quote .
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
