If I were wise

If I were as wise as I talk like I am, I'd make a lot better choices.  If I understood faith like I think I understand faith, I would see a lot more change in my world.  If I understood people as much as I act like I do, I'd have much more compassion and be able to help a lot more.  Yet, I seek wisdom and continue to advance blindly. I desire faith and speak my desire for things and results.  I advise and admonish through the security of scripture, yet react with the insecurities of a horribly flawed human.  I thank my God that my frailty does not effect his ability, wisdom or will.  His promises do not depend on my veracity.  Be blessed my friends.

  1. I sometimes forget we are in a covenant relationship, and he has promised to keep us safely hid within him. I need to rely on that promise, because my actions are often quite at war with my knowledge. First one triumphs, then the other ... "Oh, wretched man that I am!"
