When you try to do things on your own; without God, you are very, very limited.
Then there are those who are just going to "Believe God" for something to happen, as they sit around waiting and wondering why God does things for others and hasn't done it for them. Some get angry and even rail at God,"Where is my perfect (fill in the blank)?" job... money... house....
They might try quoting scriptures and telling God that, "You Word says..." blah! blah! blah!
You have probably heard ministers say that nowhere in the Bible does it say "The Lord
Helps Those Who Help Themselves". Maybe it was someone with good intentions using that to
paraphrase, "Faith without works is dead", which is in the Bible.
See, YOU have a part to play when you want God
involved! If you are truly "believing God" then you must believe what the Bible says about you doing some work, along with having faith....otherwise, it is dead. And something dead
cannot do anything.
Can you imagine someone saying, "I'm believing God to teach me to swim, yet they won't even get a toe in the water?" What is the difference in sitting around waiting for God to
lay all kinds of wonderful things at your feet, like He is your servant?
Don't know where to start? Pick up the phone and start calling places, asking questions of people who do know. Call the schools to ask about classes and financial aid....Put your toe in the water and take some action. The ideas will come; pieces of the puzzle will start fitting together. Just do your part. (Remember that faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.)
Did you know that people who will ask questions are perceived as much more intelligent than those who won't/don't ask?
