Go against what you think you know about life and let God teach you about yourself.
Test this. But you'll have to deny yourself just a little. You'll have to go against yourself.
I'm not suggesting that you have to apologize but let use this as an example;
Do you remember as a child that you did something wrong and you had to say "I'm sorry" to another person?
After saying it you knew there was something right about doing the right thing?
Even if you wouldn't admit to it.
You were made or asked to go against yourself to do this thing?
Even if it really wasn't in your heart you felt something tug your insides when you said the words.
Jesus is the same way. He tells the truth. He teaches the truth about God. The Bible is like a mirror we can use to see ourselves in a way we never thought of.
1 Corinthians 2:13
This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
Never under estimate anything that you don't know about. The things that we think we believe may have been conceived through our own fallible reasoning. Believable reasoning is not necessarily correct thinking.
They say when you pray to God, go to your alone place. So I went and this is what i saw.
This place was over an hour hike from my car. I put my bible in my pack along with some water. I went there for the sole purpose of spending time in prayer with God. I expected nothing but a view that might remind of the greatness of God. I was just sitting down when this site appeared. I wondered about what I was seeing. Is anyone else seeing this? I thought. The longer I remained in prayer the closer the sun came. After I had finished I stood to my feet and as I collected myself for the journey back the sun spot just disappeared. Maybe this was just a gift for me.
For a perspective, the pine tree next to the trail is 25 ft high. The hill I'm standing on is 165 ft above the water level. The sun spot stayed for over 25 minits coming closer to shore the longer it stayed.
