There is a very popular book called,'The Boy,the Mole,the Fox,and the Horse',written by Charlie Mackesy', it is full of many meaningful quotations,here is one ,''I wonder if there is a school of unlearning''. As a Christian I have had to unlearn many things,in relation to sex,money ,violence,forgiveness,love and obedience.There are many other things one could mentions,' leaning on one's own understanding'.As a non - Christian so often that's what I did,like most people, unfortunately our own understanding is very flawed,and causes us to be judgemental critical,and make wrong decisions. The word of God tells us to,' Trust in the Lord with all our heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding'.( Proverbs 3 v 5 ) These words are very important, it is not telling us to stop thinking,but submit our thinking to God.Before we came to the Lord ,it was all us ,King 'I' reigned,we did it our way,but it should not be that way now.The verse starts were we all should start,'Trust in the Lord',the American dollar has the words,'We trust in God',on it,but how many Americans do?, .those words means nothing to them they trust in so many things, other than the Lord. Words are not enough,we must go beyond words,and exercise trust in God,that's what we are told to do,are we prepared do do that?,yes we all have a lot of unlearning to do if we are honest.
