And I'm sitting right beside you in the 'recovery' group! A very key verse for me for a number of years now has been, "Trust in the LORD with all of your HEART and lean NOT on your UNDERSTANDING...." It's about the heart and not the head, not that knowledge is wrong but if it precludes trust and relationship building then it is! I've come to understand that my need to be knowledgeable in so many areas has more to do with the need for control than anything. Trust on the other hand necessitates the loss of said control ie. surrender...letting go! A definite process, and as Oswald Chambers says, "We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not. The question of getting to a particular end is a mere incident. What we call the process, God calls the end. What is my dream of God's purpose? His purpose is that I depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. God is not working towards a particular finish; His end is the process - that I see Him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, no success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is all right because I see Him walking on the sea. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God. ..: <a href="http://www.myutmost.org/07/0728.html" target="_blank">http://www.myutmost.org/07/0728.html</a> Hmmm, yes!
