Good one, other one. God doesn`t want us to be robots or spoon fed babes, He desires us to grow up learning to hear & trust Him. And that takes quite some time learning as Willa said, to take it a step at a time. Marilyn.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is putting everything in your life in God's hands. You go about your day and God guides and directs your steps. The Holy Spirit is your counselor. If something comes up and you make the wrong move you should feel it. The Holy Spirit convicts you. Sometimes people do what they want anyway. Their conscience becomes numb. They may be walking or running away from God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust he gave me the common sense to do it myself.   there is no difference in setting on your butt expecting him to protect you than setting on a street corner expecting someone to feed you.

I take God at his Word. To answer your question more directly, the people you mention simply do not take God at his Word / do not trust him.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
