This is Coco, one of my youngest daughter's dogs. And the look on her face is precious!!! It is as if she were trying to understanding something, but just doesn't quite get it. Dogs have this "look" a lot because they live their lives in a less complicated, dog way-of-doing-things and we confuse them. Humans are much more complicated creatures, with sometimes too much brainpower and more often than not- too little common sense. Consider just a little bit of wisdom from that ancient king of Israel, Solomon.
Proverbs, Chapter 3 (NAS)
5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
6
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
7
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
One of the hardest concepts for an adult male to understand is that "I don't know everything"!!! No matter how SMART you may think you are, there is always someone smarter. And being "smart" does not mean that you necessarily know how to live. Some of the most intelligent people I have ever known lacked the common sense God gave to a gopher. Whether or not we realize it or not, WE NEED GOD'S GUIDANCE!!! Making a change from a self-centred life to a "God controlled" one begins with realizing that GOD is Almighty, and I am NOT!!! Oh, you may still wonder about life, like the dog in the picture, but that is what "Trust in the LORD with all your heart" is all about. Now, about that second part of verse 5???...
