Lord, You Know

We trust You

We Lean not on our own understanding

Proverbs 3:5

The term understanding means human logic

There are things we know we know

We also know there are known unknowns

we know there are some things we do not know.

But there are also unknown unknowns

the ones that we don’t know we just don’t know

it’s these things that tend to be the difficult things

We have to Dump the faulty human logic

There’s the wisdom from above

It’s pure.
It’s also peace loving,
It’s gentle at all times,
It’s willing to yield to others.
It’s full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds.
It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.

James 3:18

There’s the wisdom from below

It‘s mucked up with bitter jealous
It’s damaged with selfish ambition
It’s tainted with boasting and lying.

This messy selfishness is not God’s kind of wisdom.

This is earthly, carnal, and demonic wisdom.

This lower wisdom is the quagmire of disorder
and evil of every kind

We need God to speak to our dry bones

That we might live,

Lord God, You know. Just speak Your Word

God tells us not to lean on our own understanding,

Our ability to figure everything out is faulty

The beginning of Wisdom from above is humility

Humility leans on the Lord

We say, “Lord, You know.”
