Often times we use our self sufficiency and our wisdom before going to the Father and seeking His wisdom FIRST! Like it declares in Ephesians 3:20,21  we are exhorted to realize what's available according to the power that works in us! The world will always try and grab our attention in conforming to its ways and then holding onto a temporary fix! Like Vikki Barnhart shared recently we are to be totally and absolutely dependent upon God and His help.

As it says in 2 Corinthians 9:8; God supplies, with plenty left over!
