Not Smart Enough

What if I responded to everything the Holy Spirit ever told me. I would be “Super Christian Man”, able to defeat sin in a single wave of my really thick Bible and a blast of my look-at-how-faithful-I-am stretch suit shooter thingy.
I read Psalm 97:10 and think of a math problem – let X=12. “Let those that love the Lord, hate evil”. I so often hear from Christian people about all the stuff that we want God to do for us and then we will do something for him. “God we need good weather for this function to be successful.” “God make me well and I will serve you”. What if I had a sincere desire to please God that will result in his work living through us. “I will glorify you despite the weather”. “As long as this body can move, I will glorify you.” Maybe then God’s desires will align perfect with mine. . .or is it the other way around?
Pray: Lord, your will be done because I am not smart enough.
