Welcome to the Upper Room. So glad you came.
We had a health talk this morning, in the office. And, I was just remembering the dangerous stance I took early last year, as I stopped taking my prescriptions. I was having a conversation with God along the lines of some of those medications.
Well that was a foolish step, though God covered my foolishness, I opened myself to a situation where my sugar level shot up. As I meditated in Daniel Chapter 5 the wisdom of respecting expert advise comes to mind.
Yes, there is a place for faith. And, what I did last year I did with the confidence my ears and eyes were open to the Lord. Yes, the Lord respected that, but it did not what I did less foolish. Faith does not disrespect expert advise. It is not a make believe.
Faith works with expert counsel, not without, but holds the Word of God above. Faith without knowledge or a Word as its basis is sheer presumption. Wisdom is helping me gird the loins of my mind even in this wise.
Done with all the make believes. Holding on to the real things as modeled and dictated by His Word. I am sober and I am vigilantly working out my salvation with fear and trembling.
Let's pray.
The Saint.
