A while back, my son blamed me for something that I hadn't even done when he was much younger. What he had done then was make a decision that didn't work well. We all do those things without consulting the Lord. We should never lean to our own understanding.

Many people want the amazing power of God washing over them. They want a surge of emotion, they want to see miracles, they desire the thunderclap of His mighty hand. However, considering that the Word of God covers a stretch of time of several thousand years, we only see these things occasionally. Usually it is more like the by-play we see between mother and Son.
