Trusting God, Not Me

The one who trusts in himself is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will be safe. Proverbs 28:26

It is so easy to trust in ourselves and when we do that we step back from the Lord because we have walked towards idolatry, and we are the God in the making. Satan tempted Eve with: 'you can be like God.' He failed to mention that they would lose their relationship with their God and that knowing evil would enslave them to being 'in sin.'

His tactics have not changed. We were made to rule over what God gives us to rule over, no more, no less. His word tells us He is our provider, healer, comfort, guide, lover and friend. The trick is knowing what is ours and what is His. The world has loud opinions over what is our responsibility. Most of it is His.

Our walk with Him is a learning process in which we discover our freedom, our responsibility is to love and obey, much like our little children, respond and obey.

I have, for a long time now, had a hearing problem. I have now fully investigated all options. I would rather be healed but am facing hearing aids. I did not think I could afford these as last time I looked they were $6,000 each. However, today I went to a hearing specialist and happened to mention I had seen aids put out by a professor who had worked with Cochlear in Australia. The woman responded with, "Yes I have seen the professor speak and he is good." Straight away she found the professor on the website and the price was more like $3,600 for two. A big difference! Not only was the woman helpful, she did not charge me even though I was told she would.

I had prayed that the Lord would give me a miracle. He chose to give me a different one to that I expected.

Recently I had been hit by a car, 1/5/14, and was compensated for $4,500, after all medical costs. I had asked the Lord to give me enough to pay for my hearing, He did more.

In other areas of my life God has healed me but He has not talked to me about my ears, ever. Why? No idea! But I am sure I will find out.
