"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight " (vs 5). What a challenging little verse. If I were to wager a guess as to how often I trusted God before taking my own advice, there is a good chance I'd be sent back to minors.
Tonight, I am going to Seussical to watch my brother in his senior year performance. To get ready, I started re-reading, with David, all the old Seuss books from my childhood. Seussical is narrated by the Cat in the Hat. If you don't remember that story, the Cat in the Hat makes a complete mess of a couple kids house while there parents are out. Their fish is the voice of reason, constantly reminding the kids that the Cat should be sent out.
I relate to the kids. Just like the kids, its not that I say yes to the Cat and all his empty promises (like what I did there?) but its not like I send the Cat out either. Trust in the fish, the fish is wise.
