"Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling."
Proverbs 26:27
God is generally quick to correct me if I let him. Yesterday I was talking with a friend as I drove home about a manipulation I had consciously planned for my benefit. She told me I had better talk to God about it or it might come back to bite me. I told her I felt peace about it, unlike, how I have recently felt when I considered manipulating, instead of asking for something.
Yet this morning, I randomly looked at the community feed of the Bible app, and another friend had shared this passage. So I take that as a witness of three that I am wrong. If God wants me to do something, it will always be on the up and up. It won't be a manipulating pit I dig, hoping that it will catch the right person.
God is open and honest and how he handles things. I have to trust there is something for me to learn, but not manipulating things or that he will work out the situation to give me the desire of my heart by divine orchestration.
Lord, I hear you! Thank you for the correction, and I will obey and leave it in your hands.
