[Jedediah]

While I rejoice in all of God's instructions, one in particular that resonates me is His admonition against thinking for oneself.

Proverbs 3:5-7
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

How terrible must it be to go through life, trying to make sense of what must otherwise seem like a purposeless existence? What are we supposed to do - create our own purpose? But how do we do that with no moral compass?

It's enough to make me pity the unsaved. Reflecting on these anointed teachings compels me to get down on my knees and thank the LORD for providing such detailed instructions, so that I don't have to figure out anything for myself. Praise be to Him that for any and every question I have in life, all I need to do is to open my Bible.

Praise Him for His sweet tendermercies.
