Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
–Proverbs 3:5
How many times did you hear that proverb during your years in WCG? How often do you COG folks still hear it today? I heard it a lot, and I’m sure many of you still do.
Well, it’s straight out of the Bible, isn’t it? The literal word of God, if we are to believe God actually inspired that sainted book. But does it make any sense? I mean, really?
Think about it. Just think what that second phrase actually means. “Lean not on your own understanding”? Why not? What could possibly be wrong with your own understanding?
After all, if you understand the Bible, and you understand what you’ve been taught, why shouldn’t you lean on that understanding? I can see trusting God with all your heart, if you are so inclined, but what is so bad if you “lean on your own understanding”?
“The PA called me this morning to let me know the good news…. Kevin Owen Dean pled guilty this morning and was sentenced to 40 years. He will do at least 20. There is another case pending in Cob county. That bastard is going to rot in jail for the rest of his life!!! I am so full of emotions….. ”
