True wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are His!
Is it the weather? Is it some situation? Is it your health? Is it something you did or are doing? Is there a trigger that caused it? Are you ready to turn to God to get wisdom? Are you ready to trust God in and through it all rather than leaning on your own understanding? Are you ready to acknowledge God so that He can tell you the path to take?
‘“True wisdom and real power belong to God; from him we learn how to live, and also what to live for. If he tears something down, it’s down for good; if he locks people up, they’re locked up for good. If he holds back the rain, there’s a drought; if he lets it loose, there’s a flood. Strength and success belong to God; both deceived and deceiver must answer to him. He strips experts of their vaunted credentials, exposes judges as witless fools. He divests kings of their royal garments, then ties a rag around their waists. He strips priests of their robes, and fires high officials from their jobs. He forces trusted sages to keep silence, deprives elders of their good sense and wisdom. He dumps contempt on famous people, disarms the strong and mighty. He shines a spotlight into caves of darkness, hauls deepest darkness into the noonday sun. He makes nations rise and then fall, builds up some and abandons others. He robs world leaders of their reason, and sends them off into no-man’s-land. They grope in the dark without a clue, lurching and staggering like drunks.” “True wisdom and real power belong to God; from him we learn how to live, and also what to live for.

Job 12:13-25
Let’s be the dads who trust God! Let’s be the dads who acknowledge God so that no matter what it is we are feeling or going through, He is able to show us the path to take! Let’s be the dads who seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and allow Him to take care of the rest! Let’s be the dads who humble ourselves before God, confessing our sins and mistakes and asking for His forgiveness, since we know that He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins, so that God will bring healing to our land!
