Many times the problem with us is...we try to perceive, understand and solve our problems with our own limited knowledge and wisdom. Sometimes we are right and sometimes not. We seldom take our problem or worry that lingers in our mind and heart to God and take insight from Him. We sometimes make the mistake of figuring out a solution for the problem and ask God to make it happen. Though we may be ridiculous our heavenly Father bears with our tantrums...
At times we would seen the issue in a different direction, or would have arrived at an inappropriate solution. Or even worst, we would have perceived the issue as a problem when in reality there was no real problem at all...
That is why we need to often go to His presence to learn from Him. We need to get into the habit of sharing our thoughts, ideas, problems or issues of life with God and draw our perspectives and understanding from Him.
The psalmist in Psalm 73 faced a great dilemma when he saw that the wicked prospered while the righteous suffered. His soul was agonized with the whole issue (v.16) and he saw keeping his integrity as an unrewarded choice (v.13). But only when the Psalmist entered the sanctuary of God (i.e God's presence) did he gain a whole new perspective...
Psalms 73:16,17 (The Message)
Still, when I tried to figure it out,
all I got was a splitting headache . . .
Until I entered the sanctuary of God.
Then I saw the whole picture...
How good it will be to learn from His presence and be taught by our heavenly Father at all times, so that we would avoid unnecessary headaches and heartaches...
