📖 Woe to my rebellious children, says the Lord; you ask advice from everyone but me and decide to do what I don’t want you to do. You yoke yourselves with unbelievers, thus piling up your sins. For without consulting me you have gone down to Egypt to find aid and have put your trust in Pharaoh for his protection. But in trusting Pharaoh, you will be disappointed, humiliated and disgraced, for he can’t deliver on his promises to save you.
—Isaiah 30: 1-3 The Living Bible
Do you go to God when you must make a tough decision? Do you seek His counsel? Do you ask for His advice? Many times, when we must make decisions, we go to everyone but God. We go to our best friend. We go to a relative. We don’t seek the Lord and get His mind on the major decisions of our lives, at least not like we should. Do you know how much God loves you today? Are you aware of His concern for your overall well-being? He wants to help you in every circumstance, but when you don’t consult Him, how can He? God sent the Holy Spirit to be our Helper, and I am sure it saddens Him when we don’t allow Him to do what He has been sent to do: help us. Let’s not put our trust in the arm of flesh. Let’s put our trust in Almighty God. He can handle every obstacle, and He can handle whatever the enemy tries to place in our lives. God wants us to cast our cares on Him and allow Him to handle our burdens. Everything is easy to God. We will find that out the more we trust Him. Let’s not put our trust in Pharoah (the world), you will be disappointed, humiliated, and disgraced. Let’s keep our eyes on God, He will never let us down when we do.
