To the Anonymous Commentor
To the Anonymous person who keeps lambasting me about this post (and continues to get your comments rejected due to the ad hominem attacks), please read the post first -- not just the subject line -- before you come to any conclusions or start throwing darts.
For the record, you are completely and totally missing the point. If you will read the post slowly and carefully, you will realize that I am not endorsing brainless stupidity nor am I saying that our talents and intellect cannot be used for the glory of God. Nonsense! If I believed that, I might as well curl up in a ball and sleep for the rest of my life.
I believe that God has great work for us, as Christians, to do. Why else would I blog? Why else would I write? Why else would I strive to be the best wife and mother that I can be? Why else would I seek to encourage others in holiness? Why else would I live? I believe that "Whether therefore we eat, or drink, or whatsoever we do" we should "Do all to the glory of God."
What I am talking about, is that God doesn't need our intellectualism to "help Him out" in making wise decisions. He is all-wise, all-powerful, and all-knowing. We are fallible, fallen creatures incapable of doing anything good apart from His grace and mercy. Yet, inspite of this, so often we question our great God or rely upon our human reasoning to make decisions -- instead of seeking the face of the Lord.
May the Lord shed His grace and mercy upon you and may you come a saving knowledge of His grace.

Well done, Crystal! I think it is hard sometimes to get beyond our initial reaction to a title...I wasn't too sure what that post was about. However, I took the step to read it and I saw the point. Of course God doesn't need our "help"...but He does use us to further His Will. If I could more regularly remember to go to Him for help, rather than try to figure it out myself I'd be better off.
Thanks for your post..this one(and no, I'm not anonymous commentor) and the original. I'm glad you posted this and hopefully your anonymous one will better understand the meaning of the original post.
Blessings to you,
Sommer
