We say we believe the Bible is the Word of God. It is the standard of our behavior. It's promises are true. Its commands are to be obeyed. Yet for many of us, when we feel God wants us to do something, we want to decide first - whether we should do it or not.
However, when our medical doctor gives us a prescription and advice, we are quick to follow, knowing for sure that they are for our good.
Why is that so? Do we trust our God less than our medical doctor?
One reason I can give is that at times we are not sure whether is word is from God or not. We want to be sure it is from God.
At times, even when we know it is from God, we are unable to see how to execute it. God will make it clear to us when we have the intention to follow Him. Taking time to make sure, and seeking wisdom for execution are good for us to learn to hear God better.
But we must make sure we don't treat God's Word less than our medical Doctor's.

In summary, while it is natural to wrestle with these issues, the journey of faith involves growing in our ability to hear, trust, and obey God's Word, just as we trust and act on the advice of a medical professional. Balancing discernment with trust is key to deepening our walk with God.

Ultimately, the goal is not to pit faith against science but to integrate both in a way that honors God and benefits our lives. By approaching both with respect and discernment, we can cultivate a deeper trust in God's plan and purpose.
Perplexity:
The key might be to develop a more integrated approach to decision-making that values both spiritual wisdom and practical expertise, recognizing that both can contribute to overall well-being. Ultimately, for believers, cultivating a deeper understanding of and trust in God's word could lead to it being given equal or greater weight in decision-making processes.
