Just me trying to be honest with God.

By all means bail the water out of your boat but first plug the hole.

“My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. ” Psa. 119

There are many applications of that wisdom that tells us to treat the disease not just its symptoms. Don't simply pop pills if changing your lifestyle will lower your blood pressure. Don't just give a poor person a hamburger if you can also give them a job. Put your energy into things which affect the cause not just into the effects of the cause. Of course addressing the cause means that we must understand it properly. If you have a leak in your soul do not waste time putting a material peg in a spiritual hole.
