Don'T Be So Systematic

Don't be so systematic
Something I learned today
Do you ever think of asking God first before you help someone?
That was a dilemma I faced
My thinking was "you should always ask God first in everything you do"
He revealed to me that "yes you should always help the person first"
And that "you don't need God's permission in helping someone
Because HIS mission is helping someone
Lol you are going to laugh again as if you haven't laughed already
when I tell you this
I was discussing this with my sister
And she said "if her child is drowning
she would not be asking God first whether she should help her child
She is going to help her child"
That was when God revealed it to me
We are so restricted in our thinking sometimes
And so systematic, so methodical
so religious that we forget the human factor
Yes God does want you to ask Him first
But He would not want you to let someone drown
before you can ask Him
I still think of the word to describe my old thinking
Ahh what is it?
