Our part/Gods part

Today I realized how important it is for us to understand what role we play and what role God plays in our lives. For example; our role is to study, Gods role is to give us understanding. Our part is to work diligently, Gods role is to provide for us. By misunderstanding these roles it can cause significant 'brain damage' if we are trying to force things to happen. We should always consider what our part is and be disciplined and diligent to perform our part and then understand that the Lord must do his work in us as well. We must also trust that he is good and that in his timing he will do his work, while we must be consistent to do ours.

A man plans his ways but the Lord directs his path.
