This, along with an earlier chapter when Sarai tried to take matters into her own hands so Abram could have a son, really brings me back to the first chapter of 1 Corinthians, the wisdom of man vs. the wisdom of God. What an example of what can happen when you lean on your own understanding instead of just trusting in the Lord. It is so easy to get caught up in trying to figure out worldly ways to fix worldly problems. But how much easier is it to simply release your problems, give them to God through prayer and supplication. How much easier is it to simply make the most of the life God has given you, through both pitfalls and opportunities, and let Him lead you to your divine destiny. See...This is why it is so important to stay in the word. Had I not read this tonight, I would not have even thought to turn away from my own desire to take so many of my own matters into my own hands, as I have already been doing. The word always seems to have the answers we need the most right when we need them. Isn't that just like God?!
