Some thoughts.

I was reading back through a book called Becoming a Vessel God Can Use by Donna Partow, and this passage just seemed to sum up what the Lord has been slowly teaching me lately, and what we talked about last night at our small group.

"It is not a sin to use human means to solve our problems. It is a sin to trust them more than we trust God, to think that they are better than God's ways, or to leave God completely out of the picture. Why are we so foolish to look to ourselves and our own resources, when God delights in putting His resources to work on our behalf? When we place our confidence in God and God along, He promises to strengthen us and do battle on our behalf (Exodus 14:14). That's the best battle plan of all. "
