Friends nothing causes a man to rebel against God's word like pride does.
The average man has a picture of self sufficiency in his / her heart, I want to do this all by myself. Relying on someone to get something done is a no, no.
Most of us as redeemed as we may appear to be, struggle with the strong hold of pride. We cannot afford to have someone say they were part of our success journey. We want all the credit.
This reality is one reason we tend to always want to do something even after God must have asked us to stand still.
This same pride is what causes us to often refuse to take our issues to God even after He asked us to bring our burdens to Him. We have indirectly bought into the idea that God help those who help themselves".
Pride won't allow us to take seriously God' instruction for obtaining rest in a particular area of life we’ve been trying to obtain for years.
Due to the nature of our present society many of us are not comfortable going with God's plans for achieving our set desire simply because the process eliminates our own effort.
God does not need your help in getting you to the destiny He had arranged for you before He called you to be on earth.
The delay most of us experience while expecting some things from God could be linked to our own pride of wanting to help God out.
Often times God wants His work in our live to speak for itself and not us trying to explain it.
While it’s good to always have a plan on how to get something done let’s not forget to give room for the purpose of God concerning that thing
For many are the plans in a man' heart, but the counsel of the LORD shall stand"
