A REASONING HEART

People who must reason out everything have a very hard time with faith because reasoning is not faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God.

I used to be a class A, chief reasoner. I had to have everything figured out. I had to have a plan if I was going to be positive. I was continually asking, “Why, God, why? When, God, when?” Then one day the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “As long as you continue to reason, you will never have discernment.”

Discernment starts in the heart and moves up and enlightens the mind. As long as my mind was so busy reasoning apart from the Holy Spirit and contrary to the truth in the Word of God, Jesus could not get through to me. He wants us to use our mind to reason, but He wants us to reason in a way that lines up with His Word.

Balance is the key to victory in our minds. It is fine and necessary to make plans, but you cannot allow yourself to be controlled and manipulated by those plans. Say to the Lord, “You know the way, and I will he satisfied with that. When You are ready to show me, do so. Until then, I’ll enjoy it and trust You.”

If we try to figure out why everything happens in life,

we will not have peace of mind and heart.

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

1 CORINTHIANS 3:3 KJV
