Smarter Than God

Do you know that some people are smarter than God? Or so they think. How do you live anyway you want and think you're not going to be accountable to God? If fact, that's just plain dumb. Yep, I said it. Dumb.

God has given us His Word as the way to live. Don't like it? Fine. You know where you can go, right? Don't go there. God has a way that you can't go over, go under, nor go around. You have to do it His way.

For example, the Bible states that the rod of correction drives foolishness away from the heart of a child. In other words, discipline and correction. I received my share of spankings and I came out fine. It helped me to honor my parents and authority. Abuse is totally different. God even says to not spare for their much crying, because it will not hurt them. But all of a sudden, we as a society have gotten so smart to think we shouldn't discipline our children. Dumb.

Look at the results in society today. It's just dumb. If you haven't figured it out yet, God knows what He's doing. He doesn't waste words. What He says, He says for a reason. The smart thing to do is to obey God's Word. There are consequences for disobeying God's Word.

The bottom line is: Don't try to be smarter than God. Do what He says. It may not make sense initially, but it will in time.
