It just feels WRONG,

to not know what to do.  Dependency, feels WRONG.  Adultlike feels normal, right, proper, responsible.  Childlike, dependent, clueless, feels WRONG.  In the right-side-up kingdom of this world.

But in the Upside-down Kingdom of Jesus, childlike/dependent/lowly/clueless-about-what’s-best is the core value.  Sadly, it’s impossible to be Jesus-dependent/humble.  Unless the Spirit freshly convicts me of my independence, confidence-I-know-what’s-best.  And it doesn’t last long.  Because of the world, flesh, devil, luring me back to independence, confidence-I-know-what’s-best.  Excellence, high achievement, sports success, parenting success, financial success, ministry success, idolatry, insanity, psychopathy, obsessiveness, are each impossible, without confidence-I-know-what’s-best.  Adam and Eve got what they wanted.  Nonbelievers AND believers have been suffering ever since, with the curse of independence/confidence-I-know-what’s-best.

–ShepherdDave, who LOVES feeling confident, strong, superior, a somebody, needing fresh conviction of the sin of being dissatisfied with Jesus and His imputed somebodiness, so he might momentarily be DumbSheepDave, enjoying the bliss of Jesus-dependency/humility/cluelessness, so the pre-believers around him might experience Jesus
