Lance, this is a statement devoid of faith. Trust the Most High God. If He says He will teach you, and lead you into all truth, that is a powerful I.O.U.. I think He's good for it. It's like Treasury stock. You know it's a reliable investment. (I'm taking my first accounting class this semester, lol). That sentence is almost an irrational statement. It's like me being scared to death I'm going to get AIDS, even though I don't do anything to put me at risk. Equally, God told me He wants me to know His mind. I know it's possible to be weak and not know Him or understand His word, but He's given me the means to know and understand Him, just as I have the means to avoid AIDS (by the godly wisdom of remaining chaste and abstaining from drugs). When we lean not onto our own understanding, but trust him with all our heart, he will direct our path. To fret about the obstacles in our path is an irrational fear, because, well, He's God. That's a very lofty title, but He bears it well. It's foolish and worthless for me to worry about AIDS, when God's Holy Spirit and wisdom protects me from such things. Yes, it exists, just as our human weakness does, but He has provided the remedy: the Holy Spirit. Don't sell it so short, Lance.
