Those who understand the illusory fixation of teenage tendencies will be amused by the message of a poster that reads: “Attention Teenagers --- If you are tired of being hassled by unreasonable parents, now is the time for action! Leave home and pave your own way while you still know everything!” Generally, youth comes with inexperience. But it often proves difficult to convince a youth that his choice is wrong.

Many people seem to be hunted by the same illusory teenage tendency. They go about with the I-know-what-is-right-for-me attitude. But experience shows that even the wisest of us makes poor and, sometimes, detrimental choices. This is because as humans, we are not all-knowing. Only God is.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and learn not unto thine own understanding” does not imply that we should negate our reasoning faculty and act irrationally. Rather, we are called to totally place our confidence in God. This entails implicitly obeying Him, having reverential fear of Him, cherishing His word, binging Him into the picture in everything we do, giving due portion of what we have to His service and gladly submitting to His discipline. As we walk through the labyrinth of life, learning on our limited understanding is irrational and detrimental.

Many Christians tend to “use” God as a last option. In major and minor decisions that they take, they completely reply on their imperfect understanding. God is only brought in when their own choices driven them to their wit’s end.

God never fails to guide those who put their trust in Him.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It goes well when God holds our hands and not that we hold His.
