Wiser than God?

Proverbs 3:5-8

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and shun evil.
 This will bring health to your body
    and nourishment to your bones.

These verses seem so simple in concept yet are so hard to live.  Think about someone that you trust completely.  When faced with a decision in life, do you go only to that person and follow exactly what they say?  Not likely.  You might go to them and seek advise but you likely balance that advise with what your own gut tells you to do. 

Here we are told to trust in the Lord and to not go off our own gut feeling.  We are told not to think of ourselves as wise rather to fear the Lord and shun evil.

One area in my life that I can see this being applicable is with my search for my next career move (not necessarily out of TR).  I have tried to be wise and go with what I feel is right but God has clearly shut some doors.  I know he has some good reasons so as tough as it has been at times, I am trusting him.  As a result, I stress less over it, which I know is going to bring better health to my body.

What area of your life have you tried to be wiser than God?  Take time today to pray about it and really turn it over to God.
