A Few Questions...

Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord? Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him? Has the Lord ever needed anyone’s advice? Does he need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice?
Isaiah 40:13-14 NLT

We can't believe someone would think they were smarter than God. As followers of Christ, we cannot conceive of trying to school God on anything... can we?

How about those times when we know it is the Holy Spirit nudging us to speak to that person... and we don't? Or the times we know in our knowing that it is God telling us to give sacrificially... and we don't? To pray for this one, to encourage that one, to offer the ABCs of salvation... and we don't? 

Verse 25 asks the question, “To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One. Verse 28a-b reads, Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.  And we are not.

Prayer:

Father,

           We humble ourselves before Your greatness and sovereignty. Please forgive us for our foolish and selfish ways when we oppose Your will in our lives. Help us to see more clearly, to hear succinctly, and to obey immediately. Help us to not question Your will but to trust You always. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
