IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE LEARN TO SEEK THE LORD MORE THAN WE DO.
IT REALLY IS. WE DO SO MUCH IN OUR OWN STRENGTH, WE WORK THINGS OUT WITH OUR INTELLEGENCE.
I'M NOT SAYING TO GIVE THESE THINGS AMISS and MAYBE TIE OURSELVES UP IN KNOTS TRYING TO BE SPIRITUAL. OUR CREATOR GAVE US THESE FACULTIES.
BUT TO SIMPLY SEEK HIS HELP AND GUIDANCE FROM DAY TO DAY OR WEEK BY WEEK ATLEAST.
