The Rule of Self and the Rule of God

It may be true that much of the Christian religion is the head of man on the Body of Christ.
As we consider the history of mankind, one fact stands out. It is not often that any person, religious or not, seeks to abandon his or her own plans and motives and seek the will of God in every aspect of his or her life.
The story of man is that of the creatures of the dust doing their own thinking, planning, imagining, hoping, scheming, speaking, and acting. I believe God has let this self-direction proceed for six thousand years so angels and people can understand the folly, frustration, and destruction that has resulted from our kicking God's upstairs that we might pursue our own course.
Read the newspaper today and tell me I am incorrect. Isn't it true that people try one method and then another to bring righteousness, love, joy, and peace? Have we succeeded? What is our next plan?
Would you believe that God did not give us a mind so we could direct our own life but so we could one day learn to acknowledge God in all our ways?
Our natural mind, our physical mind is the enemy of God. Think of that!
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Romans 8:7)
Our brain is not the enemy. It is neutral, a computer in our head, so to speak.
Our mind is the way we perceive the world. The mind that is hostile toward God began, I believe, when Adam and Eve rebelled against the command not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is the human desire to be independent. After all, God walked around in the garden in Eden. They could have asked God if He had changed His mind concerning the forbidden tree. But they did not.
God is here among us in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are free to ask Him about everything we do. Do we, or do we not, ask God about everything in our life? If not, why not? Does the Bible tell us that God will gladly give us wisdom if we ask?
