"I should have listened to the people who warned me this wouldn't work."
How it sounds in your head: They told me the market was saturated. They said I needed more capital. They warned me about the risks. I was arrogant to think I knew better. I should have heeded the wisdom of people with more experience.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
-- Proverbs 3:5-6Source: World's voice drowning out the still small voice that called you to step out.
Every concern they raised came true—the cash flow issues, the marketing costs, the competition. Their predictions were accurate and she ignored them.
Noah spent 120 years building a massive ark when it had NEVER rained, while everyone mocked him as delusional. Then the flood came and only his family survived—vindication came, just not on their timeline.
I REFUSE the lie that I should have listened to human warnings over God's whisper. IT IS WRITTEN: Trust in the Lord with ALL my heart and lean NOT on my own understanding or anyone else's. Noah looked foolish for 120 years and was vindicated. Abraham left everything with no GPS and became the father of nations. My obedience to His voice is not foolishness. IT IS WRITTEN: the foolishness of God is wiser than men. The BARAK blessing follows obedience, not consensus.
The Father isn't mad you didn't listen to the committee—He's glad you listened to HIM. The outcome doesn't invalidate the calling. Every ark looks stupid until the rain starts.
