Jeremiah 10:23–24 teaches that: Humans are not capable of directing their lives perfectly on their own We must rely on God for wisdom and guidance When God corrects us, we should desire His loving discipline, not His wrath This same truth is demonstrated in Joshua 9, when: Joshua and the Israelites were deceived by the Gibeonites They made a peace treaty without seeking God’s guidance The result brought long-term consequences they couldn’t undo Joshua and the leaders trusted their eyesight instead of God’s insight.They said “yes” to something God would have warned them about — if they had asked.

Counsel of God Isaiah 30:1 was spoken to Judah’s leaders who, terrified of Assyria, secretly planned an alliance with Egypt instead of trusting God — revealing their rebellion, unbelief, and human-centered politics.

No human being can fully comprehend God’s thoughts or wisdom by their own intellect. But God’s Spirit reveals those thoughts to believers. Through the Holy Spirit, we are given “the mind of Christ” — the ability to understand God’s will, love, and truth.

<p>The woman at the well (John 4) illustrates how trauma can shape a person’s life.
