Exhalt

Humans are attached to the assurance of their own free will. I have discerned that when we only place our active trust in ourselves & our own opinions, we can only trust what we experience with our five senses.
As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Our reliance on our free will and limited senses can lead us astray, but when we trust in the Lord and submit to His will, He will guide us on the right path.
As it says in Isaiah 55:8-9, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways... As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Let us not be bound by our understanding but instead seek the wisdom and guidance of the Lord.
There are some who strongly believe that we have the ability to determine our own will and choices, as this seems evident based on our personal experiences. However, it is important to approach differing viewpoints with respect and understanding, rather than resorting to ridicule or mockery. While some may feel that certain religious leaders or teachings hold more weight than others, it is also important to seek guidance from multiple sources and to carefully consider the guidance of the Holy Spirit in interpreting scripture.
The popular argument is:
‘humans do respond to God & response is derived from the will, therefore man’s will.”
Free will is limited by God’s will, and our decisions are part of his divine plan, so following his direction leads us on the right path.
As it is written in Philippians 2:13, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."
Therefore, let us humble ourselves before the Lord and seek His guidance in all our decisions, knowing that He is the one who ultimately directs our paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Man, without the Holy Spirit pastoring him through Scriptures believes the opposite of the Truth. We can only be truly free IN CHRIST.
But then we are not free in our will but in His Will.
Scripture tells us that there’s no freedom in any works of the flesh…
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
– Galatians 5:1
HIS WILL! NOT MINE! LORD! ❤️

One response to “Humans Can’t Help But Exalt Their Own Will (Simultaneously Denying That They Do)”
So very good. Thank you for sharing these truths.
